The Effects of Perineural Versus Intravenous Dexamethasone on Sciatic Nerve Blockade Outcomes
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Dexamethasone and Saline for Fracture of Ankle. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients scheduled to have foot and ankle surgery will typically receive a single shot sciatic nerve block to serve as the primary anesthetic and as part of a multi-modal post-operative analgesic plan.
