NCT ID NCT07313553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a steroid called dexamethasone to a numbing nerve block can prevent severe "rebound pain" after hand surgery. About 60 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo. The goal is to see if fewer people experience intense pain in the first two days after surgery.
