Group B) Will receive ultrasound-guided injection of 5 ml dextrose 5% into the carpal tunnel, Blinding description: The patient and the investigator are kept blinded. The injecting syringe is covered with sterile gas. Therefore, the investigator will be kept blinded to the type of injecting solution. Furthermore, the patient will be kept blinded to the type of injecting solution. 2-3 Carpal tunnel syndrome.
