This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to lidocaine works better for numbing the arm during surgery. Patients get numbing medicine through a special IV in the arm while the surgery is happening.
This trial tests two different methods for numbing the arm (infraclavicular block) before upper extremity surgery. It aims to find out which approach works better to block pain.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection around shoulder nerves can improve pain control after laparoscopic shoulder surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the numbing medication alone.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (dexamethasone) to a nerve-blocking pain technique makes shoulder arthroscopy surgery more comfortable and extends pain relief after surgery. The nerve block numbs your shoulder area so you need less general anesthesia.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a nerve block injection to reduce pain after the block wears off. This could help patients who have arm surgery for a broken bone.
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone) added to a numbing drug (ropivacaine) for a nerve block in the collarbone area. The goal is to see which combination works faster and better for pain relief during upper limb surgery.
