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 different ways to manage pain for children who come to the emergency room with a broken wrist that needs to be reset. The goal is to find which pain medicine or numbing method works best and is safest for kids.
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 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 whether giving lidocaine through an IV during surgery can help reduce pain after lumbar fusion surgery. It may lead to less need for other pain medicines and a smoother recovery.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through a vein after elective spinal fusion surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) and reduce pain. It may help people recover more comfortably and think more clearly after surgery.
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.
