Summary

This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard painkiller (ropivacaine) can improve pain control after total knee replacement. About 60 adults having knee surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard painkiller alone or with dexmedetomidine. Researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and recovery over 24 hours to see if the combination is more effective and safer.
