      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly assigned to two treatment and control groups using a block-wise random allocation method of equal size. The random sequence will be generated using a block-wise allocation method with a block size of four by Random Allocation software. Allocation concealment will be performed using sealed, numbered opaque envelopes. Each random sequence will be written on separate cards and the cards will be placed in sealed, opaque envelopes. These envelopes will be numbered sequentially and placed in a special box. When each participant enters, one of the envelopes will be opened in order and the desired group will be determined. This process will be carried out to ensure that the random allocation remains hidden until the participant enters the study, which is in accordance with CONSORT recommendations, a method to prevent bias in the randomization process.</study_design>
