      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: We made 30 cards and write letter C on 15 for corticosteroid and on the other 15 letter  L for the laser therapy group. Then put them inside the envelope with aluminum wrap and put in a box. At the time of patient arrival, one of the envelopes randomly will be selected and open it, based on selected letter ( C or L) patients will be assigned to local corticosteroid injection and high-level laser therapy, Blinding description: The outcome assessor will be blinded to the treatment group of the patients.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: "The first Intervention group": high-power laser therapy, in this group, a gallium aluminum arsenide diode laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, an output power of 8 watts, and an average energy intensity of 4 joules per square centimeter will be used. The laser wave is a pulse type with a frequency of 50 Hz and will be applied by scanning method. The total duration of treatment in each session will be 5-7 minutes. All patients will be treated for 3 consecutive weeks (5 sessions). Intervention 2: The second Intervention group : "intervention group 2": For patients in this group , local injection of corticosteroids will be performed. First, an ultrasound of the wrist is performed and the appropriate point for injection is marked. Then, under the sono guide, 1 ml of hydrocortisone and 1 ml of 2% lidocaine are injected at the site of the mark.</i_freetext>
