    Randomization of patients will be done using a four-block randomization method. For this purpose, people will be classified into 4 states based on the variables of gender and age severity of the disease and people with the same states will be randomly assigned to intervention and placebo groups in a 1:1 ratio. Block randomization will be done using a list of random numbers generated by the website https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple and by an independent researcher.
