Arm Label

Ropivacaine/dexamethasone group

10% lignocaine injection group

Arm Description

3ml of 0.75% ropivacaine and 1ml of 4mg/l dexamethasone will be injected.

4 ml of 10% lignocaine

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain reduction on the basis of the Numeric rating scale (NRS).
Pain reduction on the basis of the Numeric rating scale (NRS). From 0 to 10 (No pain to highest pain)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)- short form
BPI scores will be used to assess the change in pain before and after treatment. (Likert scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is none to 10 is maximum)
WHO Quality of Life-BREF
WHO Quality of Life-BREF scores will be used to assess change in quality of life before and after treatment. (Likert scale of 0 to 5, where 0 is no interference to quality of life and 5 is maximum).
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
Number of Participants With Treatment Success at the End of Therapy as Measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). A treatment success is defined as Much or Very Much Improved at the Week 4. The PGIC is a 7-point Likert Scale, ranging from very much worse to very much improved
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC)
Number of Participants With Treatment Success at the End of Therapy Based on Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) . A treatment success is defined as Much or Very Much Improved at the Week 4. The PGIC is a 7-point Likert Scale, ranging from very much worse to very much improve.
Analgesic requirement and rescue analgesic requirement
The number and dose of drugs before and after treatment will be assessed.
