Brief Summary

Effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine versus dexamethasone for management of repound pain after supraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Conditions

Trauma Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The incidence of rebound pain.

  Rebound pain is defined as an increase from well-controlled to severe pain typically within 12\_24 h of resolution of the nerve block.
