Steroid Addition to Pain Management After ACL Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (methylprednisolone) to standard pain relief after ACL knee surgery helps reduce pain and swelling. You'll receive the steroid along with your regular pain medications to see if it improves your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 14 and 65 years old
- You are having ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery on your knee
- You have no medical conditions that make steroids unsafe for you
- You are willing to receive a steroid medication as part of your pain management

This study tests whether adding a concentrated bone marrow injection during repeat ACL surgery helps healing and recovery better than surgery alone. If you have had a previous ACL reconstruction that failed, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether a steroid medicine called Medrol Dosepak can help reduce the need for opioid painkillers after foot or ankle surgery. If you are having foot or ankle surgery at Emory and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a single dose of methylprednisolone (a steroid) can reduce pain after ACL knee surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo, and your pain levels will be tracked.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection (bupivacaine) inside the knee joint provides better pain relief after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably after surgery.
This trial tests whether a short course of Medrol (methylprednisolone) can improve recovery after outpatient total knee replacement done for osteoarthritis. You would be randomly assigned to receive Medrol or a comparison treatment.
This study tests whether adding a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) to the standard pain injection during total knee replacement can improve pain relief. It is for adults getting their first knee replacement at certain military hospitals.
