Summary

This study looked at 80 adults having wrist fracture surgery to see if a lower concentration of the numbing medicine ropivacaine could reduce severe "rebound pain" when the numbness wears off. Participants received either a standard or a lower dose of the medicine in a nerve block before surgery. Researchers tracked pain levels, medication use, and recovery for up to 6 weeks after surgery.
