This causes numbness and loss of sensation below the injection site, allowing procedures to be performed without the sensation of pain. Dextrose helps control how the medicine spreads in the fluid around the spinal cord, ensuring the numbness develops in the intended areas. This helps in the overall comfort of the patient.
