Lidocaine infusions to prevent long-lasting pain after breast surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether receiving lidocaine through an IV during breast surgery can lower the chance of ongoing pain afterward. If it works, it may help some people avoid chronic, surgery-related pain in the chest wall, shoulder, or arm.
