Declarations
:
: This was an invasive, interventional trial. The participants were informed of the possible health risks in writing and signed consent forms. Written informed consent stated that participation was voluntary, that there would be no disadvantages if the participants did not participate, and that they could withdraw at any time. This study used liability insurance. The ethical validity of this study was reviewed by the Setsunan University Ethical Review Committee for Medical and Health Research Involving Human Subjects (Approval Number: 2024-69). Because the study design was limited and the study had insufficient justification for trial registration, it was conducted without registration in UMIN or ClinicalTrials. The information obtained was handled in accordance with the ”Ethical Guidelines for Medical and Biological Research Involving Human Subjects” of the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare in Japan.
