Could a simple infusion during surgery stop pain before it starts?
NCT ID NCT07676942
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether giving lidocaine or dexmedetomidine through a vein during urethral reconstruction surgery can lower pain right after surgery and reduce the chance of chronic pain lasting months later. About 80 adults scheduled for this surgery will receive one of the two drugs or a placebo. The goal is to see if these well-known, safe medications can improve recovery and prevent long-term pain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- lidocaine and dexmedetomidine
- What this could lead to
- If effective, these well-known drugs could become a standard way to prevent long-term pain after urethral surgery, reducing opioid use.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial. The drugs may not reduce chronic pain more than placebo, and side effects like low blood pressure or slow heart rate are possible.
