This trial tests whether a continuous infusion of lidocaine, a medicine that blocks pain signals, can reduce discomfort after major surgery while you're in the intensive care unit. If you're recovering from a big operation and staying in the ICU for at least two days, this study might help improve your comfort.
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 study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during major open abdominal surgery can improve pain control when combined with spinal morphine. It compares lidocaine to a placebo (a saltwater solution) to see if it reduces pain and improves recovery.
