The two procedures were randomized by a computer-generated random number list.
After completing the baseline survey, the 1267 enrollees were randomized by a computer-generated randomization program (Microsoft Excel®) to one of four strategies for receiving the 40 modules of the curriculum: Drip-Push, Drip-Pull, Bolus-Push and Bolus-Pull, described above.
The recruited participants were randomized by a computer-generated random number sequence into one of the two groups the vitamin D-group (D-group) and the placebo group (P-group)—with stratification according to age, gender and BMI by the Rashid Center for Diabetes and Research, Information Technology department.
Eligible participants were randomized by a computer-generated block randomization schema.
Participants were randomized by a computer-generated number, which was concealed in sequentially numbered, sealed, and opaque envelopes, and kept by a trained nutritionist who delivered the intervention.
Patients who met the eligible criteria were randomized by a computer-generated list into three treatment groups: Thai massage, Thai herbal compress, and ibuprofen group.

Once participants have completed their baseline assessment, they will be randomized by a computer program in a 1 1 1 ratio to 1 of 3 "parallel" groups, and this assignment will be automatically registered in the background database.
Children are randomized by a computer-generated list using stratified block randomization of three per block to maintain balance.
If that value were <30 ng/mL, the subject was randomized by a computer-generated code to receive either weekly doses of vitamin D3 or a placebo.
Participants will be randomized by a computer-generated randomisation scheme and the clinical investigators evaluating each subject during the follow-up assessment will be blinded.
