Timing of a steroid during anesthesia for better recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study is looking at whether giving a steroid called dexamethasone earlier or later during surgery affects recovery after the operation. It aims to improve how patients feel after surgery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a planned (non-emergency) surgery that is not on your heart, and you will be fully asleep with general anesthesia.
