Lidocaine to reduce shoulder pain after single-port surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether lidocaine (a numbing medication) injected during a minimally invasive single-port abdominal surgery can reduce shoulder pain after the procedure. Shoulder pain is a common side effect of this type of surgery, and the study aims to find a simple way to prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
This trial tests whether putting lidocaine (a numbing medicine) into the abdomen during surgery can improve comfort or recovery for people having surgery to reduce ovarian cancer. If you are eligible, the research team will compare outcomes with the use of this medicine during your planned operation.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
This trial tests if numbing medicine (bupivacaine with epinephrine) placed over the diaphragm during laparoscopic surgery can reduce shoulder and other pain. It may help patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy recover more comfortably.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine during laparoscopic gallbladder removal reduces pain and helps recovery. It is for adults having elective gallbladder surgery who are generally healthy.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through an IV can help you wake up more smoothly and with less discomfort after laparoscopic gallbladder or gynecologic surgery. If you are generally healthy and having one of these specific surgeries, you may be a good fit.
