First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looked at whether adding the steroid dexamethasone to a standard nerve block (adductor canal block) can provide longer pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. 66 adults scheduled for knee replacement received the nerve block with or without dexamethasone. The main goal was to see if the addition reduced the need for morphine after surgery.
