U.S., July 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07088432) titled 'Intravenous Dexamethasone for Prolonging Sensory Block in Spinal Anesthesia' on July 19.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if intravenous dexamethasone can help prolong the effect of spinal anesthesia in adults having elective pelvic, urologic, or proctologic surgery. The study also looks at whether dexamethasone improves pain control after surgery and whether it causes any side effects.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does intravenous dexamethasone increase how long the spinal anesthesia lasts?
Does it reduce the need for pain medications after surgery?
Does it cause more or fewer side effects...
