      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The blocked randomization method is used. The volume of each block will be four. Then the list of blocks is written and numbers assigned to them, for example (AABB(1)- BBAA(2)- BABA(3)- BAAB(4)), which will be 15 blocks according to the sample size of 60. Then random numbers between 1 and 15 are selected according to the randomization site Randomaization.com and finally, the treatment allocation list is determined based on the random numbers, Blinding description: Using sealed envelopes Due to the use of a placebo similar to the intervention treatment, the investigator and the participants will not be informed of the assigned treatment, and the analyst will also be unaware of the assigned treatment for the two groups. Finally, after analyzing the data, the researcher who prepared the packages will reveal the codes A and B.</study_design>
