Summary

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone to the numbing drug bupivacaine improves pain control during and after upper arm surgery. 54 adults having elbow, forearm, or hand surgery received either the combination or bupivacaine alone via an ultrasound-guided nerve block. The goal was to see if the mixture speeds up numbness and extends pain relief.
