Summary
This study tested whether giving a short course of steroids (Medrol Dose Pak) after total knee replacement surgery can reduce pain, nausea, and the need for strong painkillers. About 100 adults with knee arthritis took part. The goal was to see if this common anti-inflammatory drug helps people recover more comfortably in the first week after surgery.
