Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
A simple random method for randomization will be used and individuals (patients) will form random units. A random sequence will be generated using RAS software. A central randomization method will be used to conceal random allocation. The random sequence will be created by the statistician and will be available to her. The doctor will be connected to the statistician by telephone or text message and will ask him or her about the random allocation of the participant to the specific group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In order to blind the patient, the doctor will prepare the injection material in the syringe, and will cover the syringes with an aluminum sheet to avoid being aware of the type of injection. It should be noted that dilution of corticosteroid and normal salin will be done to equalize the volume of all three injectable solutions. Patients in each group will be evaluated by a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, who is not aware of the type of injection, before the injection, one week after the injection and two months after the injection.
