      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: 1. Random sequence generation: Patients were assigned in groups according to the random allocation rule. Based on the size of the research sample, we prepared 30 cards on which the PTXF and control groups were recorded and placed these cards in a lottery container. Then the cards are randomly removed from the container without replacement, and the created sequence is recorded.
2. Allocation concealment: The sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelope (SNOSE) method is used to perform randomization. Based on the sample size of the research, several envelopes were prepared with aluminum wrappers, and each of the random sequences created on a card was recorded and the cards were placed in the envelopes of the letter, respectively. To maintain a random sequence, the envelopes were numbered in the same way on the outer surface. Finally, the lids of the letter envelopes were glued and placed in a box, respectively. 
3. Randomization execution: At the beginning of the registration of the participants, according to the order of entry of the eligible participants, one of the envelopes will be opened in order and the assigned group of that participant will be revealed.</study_design>
