      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this method, first, a random sequence is created by one of the mentioned methods, then, based on the sample size of the research, a number of envelopes are prepared with aluminum foil (in order to make the content of the envelopes unclear), and each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card. The cards are placed in the letter envelopes in order. In order to preserve the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes is numbered in the same order. Finally, the lid of the letter envelopes is glued and placed in a box in order, Blinding description: In this study, the patient, researcher, care personnel and drug prescriber will be blinded. The drug and the placebo, which are already prepared and have the same shape, are distinguished from each other by A and B stickers. Then medicine A and B are distributed by health care workers who have no previous contact with the person distributing the medicine between the patients who have been randomly divided into two groups. The results of experiments and data are collected by the researcher. Only the person analyzing the information knows about drug A and B.</study_design>
