Lidocaine versus ketamine infusions for pain control after thyroidectomy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults 18–75 scheduled for thyroidectomy at Sohag University Hospital will be assigned to receive a perioperative infusion of lidocaine, ketamine, or saline and postoperative pain outcomes will be compared. The protocol excludes patients with toxic goiter, hyperthyroidism, BMI over 30, uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver or kidney disease, or known allergies to the study drugs. Pain scores, analgesic (including opioid) consumption, and adverse events will be recorded after surgery to measure effectiveness and safety. This single-center interventional trial aims to identify which infusion provides better pain relief and potentially reduces opioid needs after thyroidectomy.
