Double Blinded Randomized Controlled Study Evaluating the Analgesic Duration of Dexmedetomidine Compared to Dexamethasone as Adjuncts to Single Shot Interscalene Block in Patients Undergoing Ambulatory Shoulder Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ropivacaine, Dexmedetomidine, and 1 other intervention for Opioid Use, Unspecified. Completed, enrolled 105 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if perineural dexmedetomidine can provide increased prolongation of analgesia when compared to perineural dexamethasone in patients receiving regional block for shoulder surgery. If so, dexmedetomidine may serve as a superior adjunct to peripheral nerve blocks in a rapidly evolving, ambulatory-centered surgical setting.
