NCT ID NCT06789367
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 children having hip surgery to see if giving the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone through a vein or near the nerves works better for pain relief. The goal was to reduce pain, inflammation, and the need for extra pain medicine. Results could help doctors choose the best method to make recovery smoother for kids.
