Masking Details
An independent researcher, who would not meet or interact with patients before recruiting them, compiled a computer-generated randomised list using 1:1 assignments and random blocks of 8, 6 or 4 to ensure the invisibility of assignments. The groups corresponding to the numbers generated by the random number generator were placed in opaque envelopes and sealed, and the enrolled patients were assigned envelopes in the chronological order in which they were enrolled. On the day of surgery, the anesthesiologist prepares to mix the drug preparation after opening the sealed envelope, which is then handed to the operating room nurse. The patient, the rehabilitation physician, and the ward nurse did not know the type of drug mixture the patient was injected with.

FACTORIAL
Model Details: An independent researcher, who would not meet or interact with patients before recruiting them, compiled a computer-generated randomised list using a 1:1:1:1 assignment and random blocks of 12, 8 or 4 to ensure the concealability of the assignment. The groups corresponding to the numbers generated by the random number generator were placed in opaque envelopes and sealed, and the enrolled patients were assigned envelopes in the chronological order in which they were enrolled.
