Summary

This study tests whether adding either dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in a nerve block can provide longer pain relief after abdominal surgery. About 96 adults aged 25-65 will be enrolled. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong opioid painkillers after the operation.
