Knee surgery pain breakthrough: steroid boosts nerve block duration
NCT ID NCT06079047
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a steroid (dexamethasone) to a standard nerve block could provide longer pain relief after knee replacement surgery. 66 adults scheduled for knee replacement received the nerve block with or without the steroid. The main goal was to see if the steroid reduced the need for morphine after surgery.
