Lidocaine vs. magnesium for pain relief in sinus surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines, lidocaine and magnesium, given through an IV during sinus surgery to see which one works better at reducing the need for fentanyl, a strong painkiller. The goal is to find a way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
