What this trial studies

Adults undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy under general anesthesia are assigned to one of four intraoperative treatments combining intravenous and intraperitoneal lidocaine or saline. Pain after surgery will be compared between the groups to see if the combined route lowers postoperative pain. Eligible participants are aged 18–65 with ASA I–III and provide informed consent, while those with long surgeries or certain comorbidities are excluded. The trial is conducted at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University in Yinchuan.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults 18–65 with ASA physical status I–III scheduled for laparoscopic myomectomy who can give informed consent and do not have severe organ disease, chronic pain, arrhythmia, or lidocaine allergy.

Not a fit: Patients with expected surgery durations over 3 hours, those converted to open surgery, those allergic to lidocaine, or those with severe hepatic/renal/cardiac disease, chronic pain, or arrhythmia are unlikely to benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could reduce postoperative pain and lower the need for opioid pain medicines after laparoscopic myomectomy.

How similar studies have performed: Previous trials of either intravenous or intraperitoneal lidocaine in laparoscopic procedures have shown mixed but often favorable effects on postoperative pain.
