Randomized controlled clinical trial, with intervention and control groups, without blinding, randomized, phase 3 per 100 patients, randomized by Permuted block randomization
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study is a prospective, not-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial and will be performed on on 100 patients aged 18 to 80 years, in Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran, Shahid Labbafinejad hospital in Tehran and Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd. Patients are randomly divided into two intervention groups in and control group . At the beginning of the study, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two divided groups (50 people in each group) by permutation block method. Patients in the intervention group receive magnesium sulfate by inhalation (5 cc of a 20% injectable vial or 2 cc of a 50% injectable vial will be diluted by 50 cc distilled water and nebulized via a nebulizer with oxygen mask) in addition to standard treatment. Patients in the control group also receive standard treatment. groups of 50 control or intervention.

Randomization description
-
Block randomization (quadruple blocks) All possible blocks are arranged as follows: block 1: ABAB block 2: AABB block 3: ABBA block 4: BBAA block 5: BABA block 6: BAAB We need 25 blocks to select 100 people. We randomly select these blocks from the numbers 1 to 6.Using R software, we choose a random number between the numbers 1 to 6. For example, number 6 is chosen as the first block and number 2 as the forth block. The people who enter the study are given B-A-A-B-A-A-B-B, respectively. Finally, group A receives control intervention and group B receives treatment intervention
