Lidocaine infusion for pain relief during laparoscopic liver surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
