Lidocaine drip after breast surgery to improve long-term pain
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a long-running lidocaine (a numbing medicine) drip given around the time of breast surgery can improve long-term post-surgery pain and recovery. It may help people who have pain after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and can give informed consent.
- You are having mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery for the first (primary) breast cancer, under general anesthesia.
- You are expected to have no major extra procedures added to the breast surgery (for example, laparoscopic salpingectomy).
- You do not already have significant pain in the surgical area (chest on that side, armpit, or upper arm) before surgery.

This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or lidocaine to anesthesia during mastectomy helps reduce long-term pain after surgery. It's for women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy with lymph node removal.
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
This study tests whether giving a lidocaine drip during and after major surgery helps patients recover faster and use less pain medicine. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine that may reduce pain and speed up recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after breast cancer surgery: a nerve block injection near the spine and a lidocaine drip through an IV. Both aim to improve your recovery and comfort after the operation.
This trial tests whether a continuous infusion of lidocaine, a medicine that blocks pain signals, can reduce discomfort after major surgery while you're in the intensive care unit. If you're recovering from a big operation and staying in the ICU for at least two days, this study might help improve your comfort.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called lidocaine through a vein during emergency abdominal surgery can reduce long-term pain after the operation. Lidocaine is a common numbing medicine, and this study aims to see if it helps prevent chronic pain that some people experience after surgery.
