Study aim
This study aime to compare the effect of dexamethasone and ketorolac on pain control in elective foot surgery
Design
After the surgery, the patients were randomly split into two groups of 20 based on a table of random numbers. Patients in the first group received 8 mg of dexamethasone intravenously. Also, for the second group, 90 mg of ketorolac (Caspian Tamin Rasht Company) was infused in 1 liter of normal saline serum within 24 hours. While the patients were not aware of the type of medicine they were receiving (first type blindness).

Description
pain rate
Timepoint
Before injection and 2, 4, and 6 hours after the injection
Method of measurement
Visual Analog Scale VAS Pain: This scale represents the pain of patients in general. This scale is plotted as a 10-cm line, and the pain range is between 0 and 10 cm. The zero number does not show any pain, the number 1 to 3 mild pain, the number 4 to 6 average pain and the number 7 to 10 severe pain. The internal stability of this tool is 0.85. Up to 95 /. ROM: The neck flexion rate is measured using a goniometer. In this way, the goniometer axis is placed in the neck of the neck of the neck and on the proximal shoulder. The fixed arm is held along the horizons and movable arm along the longitudinal line of the neck, and the neck flexion range is asked from the person to move the neck forward without moving the head, and the angular changes are recorded.
