NCT ID NCT05402293
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to measure how much lidocaine is in the blood over time when given as a weight-based infusion for pain after major surgery. It planned to include 40 adults, but only 7 took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to better understand dosing, not to test a new treatment.
