Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random numbers were used to randomize and assign individuals to groups; randomization using Excel software is as follows: First, in a column, groups are entered as A, B, c, and below, because the number of samples in each group is set to 35 (including the sample fall), so 35, B, A c must be as follows. And they come in regularly. In the opposite column, random numbers are generated using the RAND command. In the next step, using the sort command, random numbers generated from small to large or vice versa are arranged, which causes the order of the groups, c, A, B, to change. Using the new order, people are assigned to different groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
This study is a randomized triple-blind clinical trial, meaning that the researcher, research sample, and statistical consultant professor are unaware of what drugs each group is taking, or which of the A, B or C envelopes contain which drugs.
