Block randomization is an important method in clinical trial design that is used to balance the number of participants in different treatment groups, reduce bias, and increase the validity of the results. This method is particularly useful in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and helps researchers ensure that there are equal numbers of participants in each treatment group. The method is that participants are randomly divided into blocks. Each block contains a number of participants who are assigned to different treatment groups, so that each group has an equal number of participants. In this study, computer algorithms will be used to randomly assign blocks to consider additional parameters and ensure appropriate allocation of participants to groups. 3 Intensity of menstrual pain and bleeding.
