Evaluation of effects of melatonin on heart function and inflammatory and oxidant biomarkers in patients after CABGS.
Design
Clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, phase 3 on 60 patients. R software version 3.6.3 was used for randomization
Settings and conduct
Patients undergoing CABG surgery at Bushehr Heart Center after discharge from the hospital will complete the consent form and questionnaire. Then 10cc blood sample will be collected from them after consuming melatonin and a placebo for a period of 30 days period of intervention. The project manager, the only person who knows about the codes and the order of assigning people to groups, is not involved in any of the stages of evaluating and measuring the results. On the other hand, the shape, size, and type of packaging of drugs and placebo are completely the same, so the patient and the outcome assessor will not know the type of intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Intention of the patients to participate in the trial,
Having no addiction to any drugs or alcohol.
Not having mental or psychological disorders.
Absence of chronic diseases such as kidney, liver, digestive, and bone diseases.
Exclusion criteria:
Occurrence of any problems related to surgery, such as heart attack, cardiac arrhythmia, bleeding at the surgical site, myocardial damage, etc.,
Intervention groups
The case group will be given melatonin (5 mg and 10 mg capsules, once a night for 30 days). The control group will be without melatonin

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The random allocation method in this study will be permutated block randomization, where T represents the person receiving the intervention and C represents the person who receive the Placebo. This method is performed by considering blocks of sizes 4 patients so that the total number of 4 permutations is equal to 6 blocks as follows: (C,C,T,T), (T,T,C,C), (C,T,T,C), (C,T,C,T), (T,C,C,T), (T,C,T,C), (C,T,C,T) Then, a number of 15 blocks will be randomly selected with replacement from these 6 blocks. Finally, the desired list of 15 blocks of 4 (4 * 15 = 60 total number of samples) is generated and the order of assignment to each of the samples participating in the study is determined. These steps are performed using R software version 3.6.3
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
First, all melatonin and placebo capsules are prepared in the same shape and size and in packs of 20 for distribution to patients. The resveratrol and placebo packages are then labeled based on computer-generated codes (without indication of its content). Each of these codes is determined based on the sequence of random allocation of individuals to groups. The project manager, the only person who is aware of the codes and the order in which individuals are assigned to groups, is not involved in any of the evaluation and measurement of outcomes steps. On the other hand, the shape, size, and type of packaging of the resveratrol and placebo are exactly the same, so the patient and the outcome evaluator will not know the type of intervention.
