Summary

This study looks at whether dexamethasone, a drug often given during mastectomy to prevent nausea, might actually increase the chance of long-term pain after surgery. Researchers will follow 170 women for three months after their operation to compare pain levels between those who received dexamethasone and those who got a placebo. The goal is to provide clear evidence to help doctors make safer choices for their patients.
