Summary

This early-phase trial compares two drugs—dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine—added to standard spinal anesthesia for pelvic fracture surgery. Sixty adults will be split into two groups to see which combination provides longer pain relief and better recovery. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage pain during and after surgery.
