Numbing medicine for ovarian cancer surgery pain
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into the belly during ovarian cancer surgery can help reduce pain after the operation. If it works, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery, helping you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old and considered healthy enough for surgery (ASA grade I or II).
- You are scheduled to have open surgery (laparotomy) to remove ovarian cancer and possibly nearby lymph nodes or other tissues.
- You do not have a mental illness that would prevent you from using a pain pump or reporting your pain.
- You must not have an infection in your belly (peritoneal infection) before surgery.
- You must not have a history of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia).
- You must not have severe liver or kidney problems, and you must not be allergic to numbing medicines like lidocaine.
