Nerve block plan for breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies a type of pain-control injection (a nerve block) to help with anesthesia during breast cancer surgery. It may help improve comfort and reduce pain around the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for breast surgery such as mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, or breast-conserving surgery.
- Your surgery will include a lymph node biopsy, and may also include removal of some underarm (axillary) lymph nodes.
- You do not have an infection on the skin where the injection would be given.
- You do not have a bleeding or blood-clotting problem (coagulopathy).
- You have no known allergy to local anesthetic medicines (numbing medicines).

This study tests a new numbing injection (called a nerve block) placed near the ribs to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this block gives better pain relief than usual care.
This trial tests a special numbing technique (called a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) to help reduce pain after mastectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces the need for pain medications after your procedure.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the chest area) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks (injections of numbing medicine) to see which works better for pain relief after breast removal surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this trial might help reduce your pain after the operation.
This study compares a numbing injection near the spine (called an erector spinae block) to a placebo (fake) injection, to see if it helps reduce pain after breast surgery. If you're having a day surgery on your breast, this could help improve how you feel during recovery.
