Could a common steroid help kids hurt less after surgery?
NCT ID NCT05887765
Summary
This study tested if giving children the steroid dexamethasone by IV before ankle or foot surgery could make a leg nerve block last longer. The goal was to provide better pain control after surgery, potentially reducing the need for strong opioid painkillers and helping children recover faster. Researchers compared two different doses of the steroid to find the lowest effective amount.
