Primary outcomePrimary: Present Pain Intensity — 6.25; 5.64; 4.92; 4.18 Units on a scale
Summary
Our goals for this study involve using intravenous lidocaine as it is normally used in the Stanford Pain Management Center to assess the effect of intravenous lidocaine on chronic pain. Studies have been done determining the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine for treating pain but little research has been done to determine the effects of an intravenous lidocaine infusion on the different components of the pain experience. Our study will incorporate pain quality measures both before and during the infusions of lidocaine to determine changes in present pain intensity.
