Lidocaine Drip During Thyroid Surgery with Nerve Monitoring
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine drip during open thyroid surgery can improve pain control and recovery. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine, and researchers want to see if it helps without interfering with the nerve monitor used during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 75 years old.
- You are having open thyroid surgery (not a mini-incision or scope).
- Your surgeon will use a nerve monitor during the operation.
- You are not allergic to lidocaine or opioids.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney problems.

This study compares two ways of giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) around the wound after thyroid surgery to see which is better at reducing pain after the operation. It aims to find a simple, effective way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
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 tests whether giving a lidocaine drip during and after major surgery helps patients recover faster and use less pain medicine. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine that may reduce pain and speed up recovery.
This trial tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine infusion (a numbing medicine) during laparoscopic liver surgery helps reduce pain and improve recovery. You may have less pain after surgery and need fewer opioids.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain during and after thyroid surgery: one uses opioid painkillers, the other uses non-opioid medicines. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can still provide good pain control and fewer side effects.
