First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving the numbing drug lidocaine through a vein during breast cancer surgery can prevent persistent pain that often lasts for months after the operation. About 1,600 adults having a lumpectomy or mastectomy will be randomly assigned to receive either lidocaine or a placebo during surgery. The main goal is to see if fewer people in the lidocaine group develop pain 3 months after surgery.
