About this trial
This study will assess the efficacy, safety and practicality of using midline catheters for repeated intravenous lidocaine infusions in an outpatient pain management setting. Adult patients requiring serial lidocaine infusions for chronic pain will be enrolled and receive treatment through midline catheters over ten sessions.
The study will investigate if the midline catheters are a safe and effective option for delivering repeated lidocaine infusions in the outpatient setting, offering a balance between ease of placement, acceptable complication risk and good patients' comfort.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Successful lidocaine infusion therapy without the need for additional venous access
Percentage of patients who received a daily lidocaine infusion for 10 days with a 2-day pause in an outpatient setting who did not require additional venous access.
Secondary outcomes
Midline Catheter Maintenance Duration
The total duration (in days) that each patient maintains a functional midline catheter without premature removal.
Number of Participants with Premature Catheter Removal and Reasons
The primary reason for premature catheter removal will be documented, including: occlusion, inadvertent removal, extravasation, suspected infection, confirmed infection, thrombosis, catheter malfunction, phlebitis, or removal at the patient's request.
