Lidocaine for pain and survival after bowel surgery in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a drug called lidocaine, given during surgery, can help control pain after colon or rectal surgery and possibly improve long-term survival in older adults. The goal is to see if lidocaine offers better pain relief and recovery compared to standard care.
