Randomization description
In this study, with a sample size of 120 people, the participants were randomly placed into three groups of 40 people (two intervention groups and one control group),with using of the block permutation randomization method in order to balance the number of samples allocated in each group. , and with 6 people in each block, we arrange all possible blocks as follows: block 1: BCACAB and BBCACA block 2: and block 3: BCAABC ..... and so on for different sequences. We need 20 blocks for 120 people. We select these blocks from the above permutations using random allocation software, which is capable of generating a random sequence in the block method. For example, if number 1 is the first block and number 3 to be selected as the second block, the people who enter the study will be given BCACAB, BCAABC, in order from left to right, and finally they will be divided into three groups receiving drug A, drug B, and placebo (C).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
