Radiation after mastectomy for certain node-negative breast cancers
This trial studies whether giving radiotherapy after a mastectomy helps prevent breast cancer coming back in women whose lymph nodes are not involved (or only very tiny spread). It may help reduce recurrence risk, especially for patients with higher-risk features despite node-negative early cancer.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–80 - NCT07002944Recruiting
Testing nerve treatment for shoulder pain after mastectomy
This study compares two types of pulsed radiofrequency (a minimally invasive treatment using radio waves) to see which better relieves shoulder pain in women who have had a mastectomy. It's for women who still have pain despite taking a high dose of tramadol.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06884852Recruiting
Preventing pain after mastectomy: nerve block vs. epidural
This study compares two methods to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery: a nerve block using ultrasound guidance or an epidural. The goal is to see which helps women feel less pain months after their mastectomy.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT05146778Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia to reduce long-term post-mastectomy pain
This study tests whether a pain-control approach without opioids (strong pain medicines) can lower persistent pain after mastectomy. It may help people avoid long-term pain and opioid side effects.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06263907Recruiting
Nerve block to prevent depression after mastectomy
This study tests whether a nerve block near the neck (stellate ganglion block) can help prevent depression after mastectomy for breast cancer. It is for women who are generally healthy and have no history of mood disorders.
Al MansurahAges 21–65 - NCT07556952RecruitingPhase 4
Dexamethasone to reduce pain after breast removal surgery
This study tests whether dexamethasone (a common anti-inflammatory medication) can reduce pain after mastectomy (surgical removal of breast tissue). Researchers want to see if it helps patients recover with less pain and potentially fewer pain medications.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–75 - NCT07421427Recruiting
Preventing pain after mastectomy with added medication
This trial tests if adding amantadine or duloxetine to the standard drug pregabalin can better prevent chronic pain after a mastectomy. It may help you if you're undergoing a modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06947330RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief after mastectomy: comparing two nerve blocks
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Both are injections near chest muscles that can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
Cairo, WailiAges 21–65 - NCT06574022RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two pain blocks for mastectomy recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (PECS-II and pectoral blocks) to see which works better after mastectomy. The goal is to improve pain control and recovery for patients with breast cancer or high risk.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04819542Recruiting
Compression bandages to prevent fluid pockets after breast surgery
This study tests whether compression bandages can reduce “lymphoceles,” which are fluid collections that can happen after mastectomy-type breast surgery. If you’re having this surgery, the trial may help prevent complications and improve recovery.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04874038RecruitingPhase 3
Lidocaine infusions to prevent long-lasting pain after breast surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether receiving lidocaine through an IV during breast surgery can lower the chance of ongoing pain afterward. If it works, it may help some people avoid chronic, surgery-related pain in the chest wall, shoulder, or arm.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–100 - NCT06452615Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for nerve pain after mastectomy
This study tests if a treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (using sound waves from outside the body) can help relieve nerve pain that some women have after a mastectomy. It may be an option if you have burning, tingling, or numbness in your chest, armpit, or upper arm that started after your surgery.
CairoAges 40–65 - NCT06649890Recruiting
Testing a new irrigation solution in breast reconstruction after mastectomy
This study tests a new surgical irrigation solution (Xperience) used during breast reconstruction after double mastectomy. It aims to see if it can reduce complications and improve outcomes for people receiving implants or tissue expanders.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06873893Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief after mastectomy surgery
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. The blocks are injected near the chest wall to numb the area during and after surgery.
Cairo , AbbassyaAges 35–65 - NCT07095569Recruiting
Shoulder nerve block for pain after breast cancer radiation
This trial tests a procedure to block shoulder nerves to relieve pain caused by radiation therapy after mastectomy. It may help if you have ongoing shoulder pain after breast cancer treatment.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07257679RecruitingPhase 4
Gentle touch for arm swelling after breast cancer surgery
This study tests a gentle hand-on technique (called Gentle Touch) to see if it helps reduce arm swelling in women who developed lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It may offer a new way to manage this side effect.
Roma, RMAges 30–75 - NCT07576270Recruiting
Breathing exercises and massage after breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether special breathing exercises and massage techniques can help reduce pain, stiffness, and limited arm movement in people who've had breast cancer surgery. It may help improve shoulder function and quality of life after treatment.
