      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: In this study, random assignment of patients to the intervention and control groups will be performed using block randomization. To achieve this, six sheets of paper will be prepared - two with the name of "Intervention 1," two with the name of "Intervention 2," and two with the name of "Control." These paper sheets will be pooled and placed in a container. Patients will be selected one at a time without replacement, and for each patient, a paper sheet will be randomly drawn from the container. After each draw, the paper sheets will be returned to the container, and the process will be repeated until the desired sample size is reached, Blinding description: The drugs will be administered in coded envelopes. Both the medications and placebos will have the same shape. Consequently, patients will remain unaware of the type of intervention they receive. Moreover, the randomization process will be conducted by a separate individual from the one who examines the patients, ensuring that the examining person remains unaware of the intervention. The person delivering the medications will also be kept blind to the type of interventions. Therefore, the trial will be conducted as a double-blind study.</study_design>
