Lidocaine infusion for chronic pain after emergency abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
