Study summary

This will be a randomized double blinded clinical study conducted in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia. Lidocaine group will receive intravenous bolus 1.5 mg/kg at induction followed by continuous infusion of 2 mg/kg/hr until the completion of surgery.Normal saline group will receive same amount of intravenous normal saline .The primary outcome will be postoperative pain using the NRS scale during first 24 hours and time to first analgesic request

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients 18-60 years of age
  • Patients of ASA () Class I or Class II (I- healthy with no systemic disease, II- mild systemic disease with no functional limitation) who require oral and maxillofacial surgeries under general anesthesia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refusal to give consent.
  • or allergy to the study medication.
  • III or more.
  • Subjects with known severe hepatic or renal dysfunction or cardiac dysrhythmia or atrioventricular block.
  • History of taking opioids or antiarrhythmic drugs within 1 week of surgery.
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse
  • History of psychiatric disorders.
  • Patients requiring emergency surgery.
  • Patients unable to comprehend pain assessment
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Lidocaine group

    Lidocaine group will receive intravenous bolus 1.5 mg/kg at induction followed by continuous infusion of 2 mg/kg/hr until the completion of surgery

    Drug: Lidocaine

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    They will receive the same volume of 0.9% of normal saline as calculated for the experimental group

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • Postoperative analgesic effects will be compared between lidocaine and normal saline group

  • DrugPlacebo

    Postoperative anlagesic requirements will be calculated and compared with experimental group

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative Numeric Rating Scale(NRS)

    Pain at rest and with cough or movement using the NRS scale, which ranges from 0 to 10; where 0 refers to no pain and 10 refers to most severe pain

    Time frame: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total opioid consumption

    Total morphine or morphine equivalent in milligram

    Time frame: 24 hours

  2. Time to first analgesic request

    Time to first analgesic (ketorolac) request (time counted after skin closure)

    Time frame: 24 hours

  3. Side effects

    Number of patients with light headedness, sedation, nausea, vomiting will be documented

    Time frame: 24 hours

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2018, 8 months.

Of 531 non-industry phase 4 interventional studies under Pain, Postoperative, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 32. This study's 8 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 541 studies reached it within 16 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 32.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 9, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
