Lidocaine for pain after open abdominal surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through a vein can improve pain control after open abdominal surgery. Patients will also receive morphine as part of their spinal anesthesia to see if adding lidocaine helps reduce pain and side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
