Pain relief with lidocaine after surgery in intensive care
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
