Testing bicarbonate with lidocaine for hand and foot surgery
This trial tests if adding bicarbonate to lidocaine and epinephrine (the numbing medicine) reduces pain during hand and foot surgery. It may help patients who are having outpatient procedures like carpal tunnel release or bunion surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for hand surgery (like carpal tunnel, trigger finger, or Dupuytren's) or foot surgery (like bunion or stiff big toe)
- Your surgery will be done while you are awake using a numbing medicine (WALANT method)
- You are covered by a health insurance plan

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.
This study tests whether a numbing medication (lidocaine) given through an IV during liver surgery can help reduce pain and speed recovery. You would receive this medication during a scheduled open liver surgery along with standard anesthesia.
This study tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine infusion during and after surgery can reduce pain after an amputation. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that may help manage pain and reduce the need for other painkillers.
This trial tests a new way to manage pain after hand surgery using local anesthetics (numbing medicine) and blood-clotting agents instead of opioid painkillers. It may help reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable after surgery.
This trial is testing if a special numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given as a nerve block during surgery, can help reduce pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether giving a specific salt-water fluid (sodium bicarbonate in Ringer’s solution) during laparoscopic liver surgery can improve safety or outcomes. You may be eligible if you’re an adult planning this type of minimally invasive liver operation and can provide consent.
