Numbing drug could slash need for strong painkillers after surgery

NCT ID NCT07076641

Summary

This study is testing if adding an intravenous numbing medicine (lidocaine) to standard spinal morphine pain relief can help patients use less morphine after major abdominal surgery. It will involve 76 adults having planned open abdominal surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the IV lidocaine or a placebo (saltwater) drip, in addition to their spinal anesthesia, to see which group needs less morphine for pain in the first 48 hours after their operation.
