Lidocaine infusion and spine surgery monitoring
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a lidocaine infusion during spine surgery affects the electrical signals used to monitor nerves. It may help doctors adjust monitoring for safer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during surgery can help reduce pain after lumbar fusion surgery. It may lead to less need for other pain medicines and a smoother recovery.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through a vein after elective spinal fusion surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) and reduce pain. It may help people recover more comfortably and think more clearly after surgery.
This study tests if adding a lidocaine infusion during surgery can help patients recover faster and with less pain after major non-cardiac surgeries like colorectal, urology, or hernia repair. It is for adults who are healthy enough for surgery but may have some health conditions.
This study tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine infusion during and after surgery can reduce pain after an amputation. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that may help manage pain and reduce the need for other painkillers.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine through an IV can prevent the headache that sometimes happens after spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section. If you are having a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia and meet other health requirements, this study might help reduce your risk of post-procedure headache.
