First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two methods using lidocaine to prevent the pain that often happens when propofol is injected before surgery. 180 adults scheduled for elective surgery were randomly assigned to receive propofol alone, propofol mixed with lidocaine, or a brief lidocaine block before propofol. The main goal was to see which approach best reduced injection pain.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, effective way to reduce the burning pain patients feel when receiving propofol before surgery.
