Subsequently, patients will be assigned to intervention and control groups using permutation blocking. This will continue until the required number of study participants is recruited. The limited randomization method will be used using the principle of random allocation. First, 39 sealed cards related to the intervention group and 39 sealed cards related to the control group will be prepared. These cards will be placed in the draw container. Then, the cards will be randomly removed from the container without replacement, and the created sequence will be recorded. Each of the generated random sequences will be recorded on a card, and each card will be placed inside opaque envelopes. In order to maintain the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes will be numbered in the same order. Finally, the lids of the envelopes will be glued and placed in a box in sequence. For each participant, one of the envelopes will be opened in order, and the assigned group of that participant will be determined. N/A rheumatoid arthritis.
