Lidocaine infusion to reduce opioid use in arm fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a pain-relieving medication called lidocaine through an IV during arm fracture surgery can reduce how much opioid pain medication (like morphine) children need after surgery. The goal is to help manage pain better while using fewer opioids.

This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during and after lumbar fusion surgery can help reduce pain and improve recovery. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine that may decrease pain and the need for other pain drugs.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during major open abdominal surgery can improve pain control when combined with spinal morphine. It compares lidocaine to a placebo (a saltwater solution) to see if it reduces pain and improves recovery.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called lidocaine through a vein during emergency abdominal surgery can reduce long-term pain after the operation. Lidocaine is a common numbing medicine, and this study aims to see if it helps prevent chronic pain that some people experience after surgery.
This trial tests whether a continuous infusion of lidocaine, a medicine that blocks pain signals, can reduce discomfort after major surgery while you're in the intensive care unit. If you're recovering from a big operation and staying in the ICU for at least two days, this study might help improve your comfort.
