First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through a vein during surgery can lower pain and the need for morphine afterward. Sixty-two adults having staging laparoscopy will receive either lidocaine or a saltwater placebo. The goal is to see if lidocaine can reduce opioid side effects like nausea and breathing trouble.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lidocaine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to control pain after surgery using less morphine, reducing nausea, vomiting, and breathing problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 people. Lidocaine may not work better than placebo, and there is a risk of allergic reactions or side effects from the infusion.
