NCT ID NCT07525934
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a steroid called dexamethasone to standard pain medicine helps people feel less pain after shoulder surgery. About 70 adults having shoulder arthroscopy will get either the steroid or a placebo, and researchers will measure how long it takes before they need extra pain relief. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain after this common procedure.
