IV lidocaine after spinal fusion to reduce delirium and pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through a vein after elective spinal fusion surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) and reduce pain. It may help people recover more comfortably and think more clearly after surgery.

This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
This study tests whether adding two medicines (lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) to your anesthesia during weight-loss surgery can reduce pain, swelling, and stress on the body. It might help you have a smoother recovery.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) given before surgery can reduce pain and lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after hip fracture repair in older adults.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during surgery can help reduce pain after lumbar fusion surgery. It may lead to less need for other pain medicines and a smoother recovery.
This trial tests whether a lidocaine infusion during spine surgery affects the electrical signals used to monitor nerves. It may help doctors adjust monitoring for safer surgery.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through a vein can improve pain control after open abdominal surgery. Patients will also receive morphine as part of their spinal anesthesia to see if adding lidocaine helps reduce pain and side effects.
