Summary
This study tests whether adding a steroid (dexamethasone) to the numbing medicine used for hand surgery can prevent the severe pain that sometimes occurs when the numbness wears off. Sixty 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 intense pain in the first two days after surgery.
