This study is testing how well and how safely a spinal block (numbing medicine injected into the lower back) works for babies under 3 months old who need certain belly or groin surgeries. It may help avoid general anesthesia for these infants.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine during spine surgery affects the nerve monitoring signals that help surgeons protect your spinal cord. The results may help improve safety during surgery.
This study compares two ways to numb the skin before placing an epidural needle: a lidocaine patch placed on the back versus a lidocaine injection under the skin. The goal is to find which method is more comfortable for pregnant women during labor or cesarean delivery.
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine called lidocaine during heart surgery can help protect your baby's lungs. The hope is that this will help your baby recover better after the operation.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during and after lumbar fusion surgery can help reduce pain and improve recovery. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine that may decrease pain and the need for other pain drugs.
