Numbing shot for pain control during day surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares a “numbing shot” in the back (erector spinae block) against a placebo shot to see which better reduces pain. If you’re having a planned day surgery, it may help improve your comfort after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a numbing injection (nerve block) placed near your spine during breast cancer surgery to see if it reduces pain and inflammation afterward. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with potentially fewer opioid painkillers.
This trial tests whether a specific pain-numbing nerve block given during mastectomy can reduce chronic (long-lasting) pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help some people use less pain medicine later by lowering nerve-related pain after surgery.
This study tests two different numbing shots for the chest wall to see which one provides better pain relief during and after mastectomy surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It will help determine which block works better to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after a mastectomy.
This trial tests a specific nerve block to see if it can reduce pain after breast reduction surgery, possibly helping with recovery and lowering the need for strong painkillers.
This study compares two ways of using numbing injections during total knee replacement surgery to see which better reduces pain. It may help you and your care team understand the safest and most effective pain-control approach.
