What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lidocaine (drug)Drug

    a single bolus dose of lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg is administered concurrently with the induction of anesthesia, followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine at a rate of 1.5 mg/kg/hr.

  • Saline infusion (placebo)Drug

    Continuous infusion of normal saline in the same volume as that administered to the lidocaine group.

Study groups in NCT06710405
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Lidocaine groupExperimentalAnesthesia induction is performed according to the standard protocol. Monitoring includes electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, arterial blood pressure, depth of anesthesia (Patient State Index, PSI), and pain score (Analgesia Nociception Index). In the lidocaine group, a single bolus dose of lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg is administered concurrently with the induction of anesthesia, followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine at a rate of 1.5 mg/kg/hr.
Receives: Drug: Lidocaine (drug)
Control groupPlacebo comparatorThe control group receives a continuous infusion of normal saline in the same volume as that administered to the lidocaine group.
Receives: Drug: Saline infusion (placebo)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. FLACC (ace, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale) Score

    Highest FLACC Score recorded in the postanesthesia care unit (The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain.)

    Measured: up to 1 hour after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Remifentanil dose

    Total amount of remifentanil administered during surgery

    Measured: throughout surgery (up to 3 hours)

  2. ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index)

    ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index) values during surgery (scale ranging from 0 (indicating maximum pain) to 100 (indicating no pain))

    Measured: throughout surgery (up to 3 hours)

  3. FLACC scores

    FLACC scores at 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours postoperatively

  4. Total analgesic dosage administered postoperatively

    Measured: up to 3 days after surgery

  5. Postoperative complications

    Measured: until discharge (up to 3-4 days after surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lidocaine (drug) in people with Pain Management After Surgery, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ji-Hyun Lee, MD, PhD (82-2-2072-3661, muslab6@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

FLACC (ace, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale) Score (time frame: up to 1 hour after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2025.
