      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants will be assigned to intervention and control groups using block randomized method. The link "https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists" will be used for block randomization. For this purpose, the target number of samples (40 samples), number of groups (two groups A and B) and number of blocks (4) will be entered and the system will provide the researcher with a list of 4 blocks. Based on the output list, it will be determined in which group the patients who enter the study should be placed in order. Items A represent the intervention group and items B represent the control group, Blinding description: Based on the block randomization method, patients will be divided into two control and intervention groups of 20 people. In a group of anesthesiologists who will not know the type of research, patients will be given epidural injections under one of two doses of the drug based on the sealed envelope in which the drug dose is specified. The principal investigator will not know which patient is receiving which block. The patient and the person filling the questionnaire do not know the type of block.</study_design>
