Clinical Details
Official title: Phase 4 Study of Comparison of Postoperative Analgesic Effect of Intra-articular Dexamethasone and Dexamethasone Added to Bupivacaine in Interscalene Brachial Plexus Blockade for Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: analgesic consumption
Secondary outcome: visual analog scale
Detailed description:
shoulder surgery can be very painful and interscalene brachial plexus block is the gold
standard in the management of acute pain after shoulder surgery. various local anaesthetic
mixtures can be used to prolong local anaesthesia duration and epinephrine , opioids and
dexamethasone are frequently used for this purpose. dexamethasone has also been found the
prolong the duration of lidocaine axillary blocks and intravenous regional anaesthesia.
intraarticular administration of medicines can be used for management of joint pain and
opioids , local anaesthetics and dexamethasone are used for this purpose. In addition, there
are no studies available to compare the different treatment methods used in clinical
practice directly.
