Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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 study tests a special form of dexamethasone (a steroid) given as a shot before surgery to help control pain after the operation. It may reduce the need for other pain medicines and make recovery more comfortable.
