Painkiller cocktail for ACL surgery falls short: study halted early
NCT ID NCT03643822
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a standard nerve block could improve pain control after ACL repair. Only 3 people enrolled before the study was stopped, so no reliable conclusions can be drawn. The goal was to reduce the need for strong painkillers like opioids.
