Dear Readers,
We regret to inform you of the withdrawal of this article recently published in our journal (1). This decision was made after thorough review and in alignment with the publisher's guidelines, specifically concerning the absence of a registered Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) code. Given that the article reports on a randomized clinical trial, the authors were required to provide an RCT code as per our policy (https://brieflands.com/journals/middle-east-journal-of-rehabilitation-and-health-studies/knowledgebase#clinical_trials). However, the authors confirmed that they had not obtained this code before the study commenced (Ticket #547581). We appreciate your understanding and commitment to upholding the standards of rigorous scientific research.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Fatemeh Ehsani
