This trial tests if a numbing injection into the pudendal nerve can reduce pain after one month. It's for people with pudendal neuralgia that hasn't improved with medication.
This trial tests using a special catheter (thin tube) to deliver lidocaine—a numbing medication—to treat chronic pain on an outpatient basis. Researchers want to see if this approach helps manage long-term pain effectively.
This trial tests injecting lidocaine into a specific artery to treat severe migraines. It aims to see if this can stop headache pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through a vein can improve pain control after open abdominal surgery. Patients will also receive morphine as part of their spinal anesthesia to see if adding lidocaine helps reduce pain and side effects.
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 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.
