The letter A and B will be considered for sampling patients in the intervention and the control group, respectively. The following blocks will be written on pieces of paper with numbers from 1 to 6. We will then randomly pick up the pieces of paper through rolling a dice. Sampling will then begin according to the order achieved in the above procedures. 1. AABB 2. BBAA 3. ABBA 4. BAAB 5. ABAB 6. BABA According to the order of the letters in the blocks, patients will be assigned to the intervention or control group. Then the next blocks will be selected through rolling the dice again. For example, we roll the dice 6 times for the first time and the following numbers are given by chance: 514362 → ABAB AABB BAAB ABBA BABA BBAA, Blinding description: In this study, participants will not be informed of their allocation to the intervention or control group.
