Common anesthetic tested to fight pain and opioid dependence after cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT02894710
Summary
This study tested whether giving the common local anesthetic lidocaine through an IV during head and neck cancer surgery could help manage pain. The main goal was to see if it reduced patients' need for strong opioid painkillers like morphine in the first two days after surgery. Researchers also wanted to know if this approach could lower the risk of developing long-term pain months after the operation.
