      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Blocked random allocation method will be used to randomly assign the patients to two intervention groups and the control group. For this purpose, the "randbetween" formula will be used in Excel software. The generated numbers will be between 1 and 6. Then, based on the generated number, samples will be assigned to the intervention and control groups, Blinding description: Melatonin and placebo medicine will be placed in separate packages. Only the main operator of the study will know how to assign the codes. The patient, the anesthesiologist (data collector) and the statistical evaluator will be blind in this study. At the end of the study, the codes will be broken for statistical analysis.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Melatonin with a dose of 15 mg per day. It should be noted that the routine treatment of patients (such as receiving antibiotics, conventional supportive treatments, etc.) will not change during the intervention period. Entering this study will not lead to a change in the patient's routine treatment process. The duration of the intervention will be 7 days. Intervention 2: Control group: They will receive a pill that is similar in appearance and color to the intervention group but contains starch or lactulose.</i_freetext>
