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 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.
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 a continuous drip of lidocaine (a numbing medicine) reduces pain and discomfort after major surgery in the intensive care unit. It is for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 2 days after operations like heart surgery, major abdominal surgery, or serious injury surgery.
This study tests if adding a lidocaine infusion during surgery can help patients recover faster and with less pain after major non-cardiac surgeries like colorectal, urology, or hernia repair. It is for adults who are healthy enough for surgery but may have some health conditions.
This study tests whether giving a constant drip of lidocaine (a numbing medicine) during keyhole liver surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster. It is for people having laparoscopic liver surgery who are generally healthy and not taking certain pain medications.
