Summary

This study tests whether adding a steroid called dexamethasone to a standard nerve block can prevent severe "rebound pain" after hand surgery. About 60 adults having hand surgery under a nerve block will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo. The main goal is to see if fewer people in the steroid group experience severe pain in the first 48 hours after surgery.
