      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Single, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The randomization method for this double-blinded randomized clinical trial will be conducted using computer-generated
random numbers. The assignment of participants to the study groups will be performed in a randomized
manner to ensure equal distribution among the groups. The randomization process will be carried out by an individual
who is not directly involved in the recruitment or assessment of participants.
Once informed consent is obtained from eligible participants, they will be assigned a unique identification number.
The randomization list will be generated using a computer program, which will allocate participants to one of the
..three study groups: DDAVP group, TXA group, or combination group, Blinding description: To ensure the integrity and validity of the study, a double-blind approach will be implemented, where both the
participants and the research team will be blinded to the treatment assignments. The blinding method will involve the
following measures:
1. Blinded Treatment Allocation: The assignment of participants to the three study groups (DDAVP group, TXA
group, and combination group) will be performed using computer-generated random numbers by an independent
researcher not involved in the data collection or analysis. The treatment allocation will be concealed from the
participants, surgeons, anesthesiologist, and other members of the research team who are directly involved in patient
care.
2. Identical Packaging and Labeling: The DDAVP and TXA medications will be prepared and packaged in identical
containers with matching labels. The containers will be indistinguishable in appearance, ensuring that neither the
participants nor the healthcare providers can differentiate between the treatments.
3. Blinded Administration: The medications (DDAVP and TXA) will be administered intravenously by a nurse or
healthcare provider who is not directly involved in the data collection or analysis. The administration will be
performed in a separate room away from the surgical area, ensuring that the surgical team remains unaware of the
specific treatment being administered.
5. Blinded Data Collection and Analysis: The collection of intraoperative and postoperative data, will be performed
by research personnel who are blinded to the treatment assignments. These individuals will not have access to the
treatment information during data collection, thereby preventing any potential bias in data recording.
5. Unblinding Procedures: In the case of an emergency or if there is a medical necessity to reveal the treatment
assignment for a specific participant, a separate unblinding procedure will be established. This procedure will outline
.the steps to be followed to maintain the blinding integrity of the study while addressing the participant's needs.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Condition 1: Chronic sinusitis. Condition 2: Nasal polyp.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group (Desmopressin Group): Patients will undergo general anesthesia and FESS as indicated under the routine standard of care. Patients in the DDAVP group will receive 0.3 μg/kg of IV DDAVP (DESMOPRESSIN INJECTION PARENTERAL 4 μg/1mL, Ferring GmbH, Switzerland), before the start of the operation. Intervention 2: Intervention group (Tranexamic Acid Group): Patients will undergo general anesthesia and FESS as indicated under the routine standard of care. Patients will receive before the operation, 15 mg/kg of IV TXA (TRANEXAMIC ACID INJECTION PARENTERAL 100 mg/1mL 5MILLILITER, Caspian Tamin Pharmaceutical Company, Iran) in the TXA group. Intervention 3: Intervention group (Desmopressin + Tranexamic Acid): Patients will undergo general anesthesia and FESS as indicated under the routine standard of care. Patients in the DDAVP group will receive the combination of 0.3 μg/kg of IV DDAVP (DESMOPRESSIN INJECTION PARENTERAL 4 μg/1mL, Ferring GmbH, Switzerland) and 15 mg/kg of IV TXA (TRANEXAMIC ACID INJECTION PARENTERAL 100 mg/1mL 5MILLILITER, Caspian Tamin Pharmaceutical Company, Iran), before the start of the operation in the combination group.</i_freetext>
