      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Block Randomization method is used to randomized the patients.
In this method, the number of people assigned to each group is usually almost equal. Blocks are formed based on the considered variables and within each block, half of the people are involved and half are considered as witnesses. The main goal in this method is to balance the number of participants in each group.</study_design>
