Summary
This study tests whether adding a short course of the steroid dexamethasone to standard supportive care helps more people recover from an adhesive small bowel obstruction without needing surgery. About 550 adults with this condition will be randomly assigned to receive either dexamethasone plus supportive care or supportive care alone. The main goal is to see if the drug increases the chance of the blockage resolving on its own.
