      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Two test and control groups were designed for the study. The randomization was carried out using simple randomization and coin tossing. The control group was designated as "heads," and the test group as "tails." Based on the sample size, coin tossing was performed 28 times, and individuals were randomly assigned to two groups of 14 participants each, Blinding description: Those responsible for data collection and those assessing the outcome are kept blind to the intervention groups. This is done by assigning neutral codes to the participants (without giving information about patients' intervention grouping like S12).</study_design>
