      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The randomization tool will be a random sequence generation software called SAS. In addition to simple randomization, these random sequence generation software are capable of generating random sequence by block method. Block randomization method will be used for randomization. Block randomization is for the purpose of making sure that exactly equal number of participants enter the study groups. The advantages of block randomization are that the balance of the number of participants in each group is guaranteed. For this purpose, 4 blocks will be formed and in each block, 2 people from intervention group and 2 people in control group will be placed. A total of 15 blocks will be considered to reach the sample size. The blocks contain numbers,  odd numbers represent the intervention group and even numbers represent the control group. Their order  will be determined by the software initially.
Random allocation concealment will be done using opaque envelopes sealed with a random sequence, in this method, each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and the cards are placed inside the envelopes in order. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes are numbered in the same way on the outer surface. Finally, the letter envelopes are glued and placed in a box, respectively. the door
At the beginning of the registration of participants, based on the order of entry of eligible participants into the study, one of the envelopes of the letter is opened in order and the assigned group of the participant is revealed, Blinding description: Patients will be blinded to the type of treatment. To hide similar and identical sera, it was used without drug name label and only with code. Patients will be aware that they will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups, but will not know which treatment will be provided in that group. Patients will be assigned to one of two groups using a random number table. The person in charge of data collection, the analyst and the outcome evaluator will collect and analyze the data based on groups 1 and 2 and will not know the type of treatment provided in the groups and will be kept blind.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients will receive erythropoietin+testosterone (56,000 units subcutaneously) once a week for a maximum of three doses. Patients will receive the first dose of erythropoietin + testosterone in the amount of 40,000 units intravenously within 10 minutes from the onset of symptoms, up to the first 24 hours. After that, the patient will receive 8,000 units of the drug every week. will receive up to 2 times. In fact, a total of 56,000 units of erythropoietin + testosterone will be prescribed for each patient. Intravenous injection of erythropoietin will be done without mixing with other drugs or intravenous fluids. Intervention 2: Control group: Patients will receive placebo (0.9% sodium chloride subcutaneously) once weekly for a maximum of three doses. In the control group, injection will be done with distilled water. In the shortest possible time from the onset of symptoms, up to the first 24 hours, the first dose will be received intravenously within 10 minutes, after that, the patient will receive placebo up to 2 times a week.</i_freetext>
