Randomized clinical trial demonstrates reduced pain and opioid use in hysterectomy patients, indicating lidocaine's effectiveness.

Intravenous lidocaine significantly lowers postoperative pain intensity compared to a control group, improving patient comfort.
At 6 and 12 hours, moving pain scores were lower in the lidocaine group, with p-values indicating strong statistical significance.
A randomized clinical trial assessed 46 patients, highlighting the method's reliability and clinical relevance in surgery.
Intravenous lidocaine may serve as an effective strategy to manage pain while reducing the need for opioids post-surgery.

Musba et al. (2025) studied this question.
