The effect of dexamethasone on functional pain following Transoral Robotic Surgery: a randomized double blinded clinical trial

CONCLUSION: There were no differences in the pain intensity in the two treatment groups allocated to a basic multimodal analgesic package and either high-dose dexamethasone or low-dose dexamethasone treatment. The trial is the first RCT to include pain measurement during a procedure-relevant activity, thus creating a platform for future recovery studies.PMID:37902607 | DOI:10.1080/00016489.2023.2269998
