Summary

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone (a steroid) to a standard nerve block could provide longer pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. 66 adults having knee replacement under spinal anesthesia received either the nerve block with or without dexamethasone. The main goal was to see if it reduced the need for morphine after surgery.
