Lidocaine Infusion for Pain Relief in Children Scheduled for Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
NCT03902314 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Lidocaine is widely available and is a very commonly used local anesthetic. When administered intravenously, lidocaine infusions have anti-inflammatory effects and have significantly decreased the reliance on opioid use for adequate pain management in adult abdominal and spine surgeries. A major advantage of lidocaine infusion is that it is not associated with a significant side effect profile.The role of lidocaine in pediatric acute perioperative pain remains limited.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03902314
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03902314 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 70 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rhode Island Hospital, which has 110 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Tonsillar Hypertrophy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Saline Solution is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03902314 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Rhode Island. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
