Comparison of Post Operative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Lower Abdominal Surgeries Receiving Ultrasound Guided Block With Dexmetomidine vs Dexmethasone

This study compares two pain-relief approaches for patients having lower abdominal surgeries, looking at whether adding dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to a nerve block (TAPP block) provides better or longer-lasting pain relief after the operation. The TAPP block is an ultrasound-guided injection of local anesthetic between the abdominal muscles that can numb the area after surgery. Eligible participants are adults with a BMI of 25–35 kg/m² classified as ASA I or II (generally healthy or with mild systemic disease) who are scheduled for lower abdominal surgery. Participation involves receiving one of the two study drug combinations as part of routine anesthesia care and being monitored for pain levels after surgery. This summary was prepared using AI to help patients understand the study in plain language.
