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 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 whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into the belly during ovarian cancer surgery can help reduce pain after the operation. If it works, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery, helping you recover more comfortably.
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 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.
This trial tests whether giving the medicine lidocaine through an IV during gallbladder removal surgery can help reduce pain and improve recovery. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) gallbladder surgery.
