First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common steroids, dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, to see which one better reduces swelling and pain after surgery for a broken lower jaw. About 72 adults aged 18 to 40 with a recent, isolated jaw fracture will receive one of the two drugs during surgery. Researchers will measure facial swelling and pain levels at 24 and 72 hours after the operation to determine the more effective option.
