Lidocaine for recovery after major surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are having a major, non-emergency surgery during the week on your colon, urinary system, hernia, spine, or for cancer
- You are classified as ASA class II, III, or IV (this means you have mild to severe health problems, but are stable)
- You are not allergic to lidocaine
- You are willing to receive a nerve block (a shot to numb a specific area)
- You are not pregnant, and if you could become pregnant, you will have a pregnancy test on the day of surgery
