      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The stochastic method of this study will be block type using 4 blocks (AABB, ABBA, BABA, etc.). For this purpose, the letter Intervention (I) is written on two cards and the letter Control (C) is written on two cards. To hide, the cards are placed in the envelope and turned upside down several times so that the order is not clear. Upon arrival of each participant, a card is selected for him and the selected card is discarded. This is also done for the next three patients to identify 4 people. Then, in the same way, randomization will be done for other groups of 4 to achieve the desired sample size. Then, after randomization and assigning the person to one of the groups, the necessary tests mentioned above are performed for him. The drug is then given to the person for 6 months as mentioned above and every month and after 6 months, tests are performed for him again. In addition, at the beginning of the project, informed written consent and demographic information such as age, sex, height, weight and body mass index will be completed, Blinding description: This study is a double-blind study. Participants will be blinded using the same appearance of curcumin and placebo, and patients have no idea which group they belong to. Also, the researcher who gives the drugs to the two groups will not be aware of the type of drug and the researcher will be blinded in this way.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: participants in the intervention group will be given the drug curcumin karen containing 95% turmeric extract. This drug will be given as a capsule in the amount of 500 mg twice a day, daily for 6 months. Intervention 2: Control group: a placebo will be given to participants in the control group. The appearance of this drug will be exactly the same as curcumin (we put it in similar pillboxes) and 2 capsules a day for up to 6 months will be given to patients in this group.</i_freetext>
