      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: After determining the eligible people and obtaining their consent, the participants will be divided into two groups [intervention (valerian) or control (starch)] by random allocation method. Firstly, each individual will receive a specific code number. Then all code numbers will be entered into random allocation software. Software inputs will include the total number of samples and the number of treatment groups (intervention and control). The software output will include random numbers assigned to two groups. The allocation ratio will be 1:1. Each participant will have an equal chance of being in each group, and participants in the study will not be able to predict the type of intervention they receive, Blinding description: In this study, researchers and patients will be blinded using supplements or placebos that have the same appearance and the same packaging. Coding is done by someone outside the study. The given codes will be provided to the researchers after the statistical analysis of the data and for writing the article. The codes will be defined as A and B.</study_design>
