      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The 70 patients in the study are randomly divided into two groups of 35 with a one-to-one ratio by complete random generation method. For this purpose, first the list of patients' names is prepared and numbered from 1 to 70, then patients with odd numbers will be assigned to group one and patients with even numbers will be assigned to group two, Blinding description: Patients are explained that glucocorticoid drugs are standard treatment and there are no evidences to show one of them to be more effective than other in current condition. In this way, although patients do not know the name of their glucocorticoid drug, they will be aware of the general class of drugs and their side effects. Specifications and examinations will be recorded by a person who is blind to the groups and tests will be recorded by a person who is blind to the groups.</study_design>
