First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether giving lidocaine through an IV can reduce muscle spasms in the duodenum during ERCP, a procedure to examine bile ducts. 120 adults were randomly assigned to receive lidocaine or a placebo. The goal was to see if lidocaine lowers the need for extra spasm-relief drugs and reduces the amount of sedation needed.
