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.

- 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.
