This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways to reduce pain after total knee replacement (TKA): a steroid-enhanced nerve block versus a numbing shot called Exparel. It aims to see which option improves comfort and recovery after surgery done with spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests whether a steroid injection placed around the hip after hip replacement can reduce pain and shorten hospital stay. It is meant for older adults who are having hip replacement due to a broken femoral neck bone.
This trial studies whether giving dexamethasone through a vein (an anti-inflammatory steroid) around the time of total shoulder replacement surgery improves outcomes. It may help lower inflammation and related discomfort, but you must meet specific health and medication safety criteria to join.
This study tests whether a single steroid injection in the healthy knee (the one not being replaced) can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help people who have arthritis in both knees but are only having one replaced now.
This trial compares two ways of giving dexamethasone (a strong anti-inflammatory) for people having knee replacement surgery. One group gets a pill and the other gets an IV. The goal is to see which method works better for pain, swelling, and recovery.
