Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the effect of perineural dexamethasone combination in brachial plexus interscalene block in shoulder surgery on postoperative pain
Design
During this RCT, the number of 60 patients candidates for shoulder surgery are allocated randomly into 2 groups of 30 patients according to Including and excluding criteria. In the control group, lidocaine 2 cc (1.5%) , bupivacaine 20 mg (2cc, 0.5%) , and 2 cc normal saline are used for interscalene block. In the case group, lidocaine 2 cc (1.5%) , 2cc bupivacaine 0.5% (20mg), and 2cc dexamethasone (8mg) are used. VAS score is used to measure pain 12 hours and 24 hours after the operation
Settings and conduct
During this RCT, the number of 60 patients candidates for shoulder surgery are allocated randomly into 2 groups of 30 patients according to Including and excluding criteria. In the control group, lidocaine 2 cc (1.5%) , bupivacaine 20 mg (2cc, 0.5%) , and 2 cc normal saline are used for interscalene block. In the case group, lidocaine 2 cc (1.5%) , 2cc bupivacaine 0.5% (20mg), and 2cc dexamethasone (8mg) are used. VAS score is used to measure pain 12 hours and 24 hours after the operation This research is double-blind and the physician injecting the drugs and the physician performing the post-operative evaluations are different and do not know about the content of the syringes and the cases.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with ASA class I and II candidates for shoulder surgery referred to Shohadaye Tajrish and Akhtar Hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Intervention groups
In the control group, 30 cc lidocaine1.5%, 2cc bupivacaine 0.5%(20mg), and 2cc of normal saline are injected between the C5-C6 roots of spine. In the case group, 30cc lidocaine 1.5%, 2 cc bupivacaine 0.5%(20 mg), 2cc of dexamethasone 8mg is injected between the same roots

Sample size
Target sample size: 60
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this method, based on the table of random numbers, first the number of samples is entered using a computer, and for each patient two-digit code is assigned . The researcher randomly selects a point in the Weston line. If the number is smaller than the sample size, the selection is made. And this continues until the sample size is complete
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this research, the drugs of the case group and the control group are drawn into the syringe by the nurse anesthetist. Therefore, the nurse is aware of the types of drugs of the two groups. The researcher, who is an anesthesiologist, does not know which group the drug belongs to. So the researcher is blind at this stage. On the other hand, the participants of the study are also blind to the difference of drugs in each group.
