Pain relief with ondansetron and lidocaine after abdominal cancer surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if rinsing the belly with ondansetron (a nausea medicine) and lidocaine (a numbing medicine) during surgery can reduce pain afterward. It is for people having major lower abdominal cancer surgery who are otherwise healthy.

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 adding ondansetron to standard spinal anesthesia during hernia surgery can provide better pain relief. It may help you need less pain medicine after the procedure.
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 study compares two medicines—ondansetron (usually used for nausea) and lidocaine (a numbing medicine)—to see which one better reduces the pain you might feel when the anesthesia drug propofol is injected into your vein. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to help find a more comfortable way to start anesthesia.
This trial tests if giving ondansetron before spinal anesthesia can prevent itching that often happens after a C-section. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study tests whether adding a sedative medicine to the numbing medication used in a nerve block can improve pain relief after upper abdominal cancer surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after the operation.
