First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving lidocaine during colon cancer surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers (opioids) afterward. It also looks at how quickly the bowel starts working again. About 100 adults having laparoscopic colon resection will be randomly assigned to receive lidocaine, a high dose of dexamethasone, or a placebo. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce side effects.
