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 compares different ways of giving steroid medicine after a total knee replacement to see which approach works best and is well-tolerated. You may qualify if you’re getting a first (not repeat) knee implant and can follow the study steps.
This trial tests whether a single steroid medicine called dexamethasone given around the time of surgery can reduce pain and nausea after a periacetabular osteotomy. It may help you feel more comfortable in the first days after surgery, depending on your medical history.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (dexamethasone) through an IV line during hip replacement surgery reduces pain afterward. Researchers will compare three different doses to see which works best when combined with a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the hip).
This study tests whether a single dose of steroids (dexamethasone) given during hip replacement surgery can improve your recovery and quality of life. It may help reduce pain and swelling after the procedure.
This trial tests a combination of a steroid and lubricant injection into the hip joint plus physical therapy to treat mild hip arthritis or related issues like a labral tear. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and improve function without surgery.
