1. Designing the Study: This includes defining the research question, selecting the population, and determining the interventions and outcomes. 2. Randomization: Participants are randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. 3. Blinding: Whenever possible, the study is conducted in a blinded manner, meaning that participants, clinicians, and researchers do not know which group the participants are in. 4. Data Collection: Data on the outcomes of interest are collected systematically. 5. Data Analysis: Statistical methods are used to compare outcomes between the two groups to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
