Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  inj. Methylprednisolone  With due approval from intitutional ethical committee a double blinded randomised study will be conducted on 40 patients who will be undergoing various orthopaedic surgeries around elbove and forearm. inj.Methylprednisalone 40mg is used as an adjuvant with inj.Rpopivacaine 0.5% 30ml is given as USG guided supraclavicular block as one time injection. A written informed consent will be taken in prior to procedure. Participants will be followed and monitored for duration of analgesia at specified interval till they complain of pain in postoperative period then the study will be terminated. data will be collected and analysed using standard qualitative and quantitative tests. A p value of less than 0.05 will be considered as significant.  
Intervention  inj.Dexamethasone   with due approval from institutional ethical committee a double blinded randomised study will be conducted on 40 patients who will be undergoing various orthopedic surgeries around elbove and forearm. inj.Dexamethsone 8mg is used as an adjuvant with inj.Rpopivacaine 0.5% 30ml is given as USG guided supraclavicular block as one time intervention.

Brief Summary   this will be a double blinded randomized study conducted to evaluate and compare inj. dexamethasone 8mg  and inj. methylprednisolone 40 mg as an adjuvent with inj. Ropivacaine 0.5% 30 ml given  as USG guided supraclavicular block in patients undergoing various orthopaedic surgical procedure around elbow and forearm  with a primary objective to compare duration of analgesia and secondary objectives being onset and duration of sensory block, onset and duration of motor block, and adverse effect . Participants will be allocated in to group RD who will be receiving inj. dexamethasone and group RM who receiving inj. methylprednisolone  with local anaesthetic agent in doses as described earlier and will be monitored intraoperatively and post operatively at described interval and study parameters will be recorded  and data will be analysed using standard  qualitative and quantitative test . P value of less than 0.05 will be considered significant.
