NCT ID NCT07581275
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the numbing drug levobupivacaine behaves in the blood after a TAP block, a common pain relief procedure for abdominal surgery. Researchers will take blood samples from 26 adult patients over three hours to measure drug levels. The goal is to find a safe time window to give another painkiller, lidocaine, through an IV without risking side effects.
