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 trial compares two types of numbing nerve blocks to help manage pain after breast cancer surgery with lymph node removal. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
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 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 compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control during and after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy with lymph node removal, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if combining an ultrasound-guided nerve block with a low-dose ketamine drip can reduce long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help prevent chronic pain from developing.
This study tests whether nerve blocks—injections that numb specific nerves around the breast—can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after breast removal surgery. If it works, it could help women recover more comfortably.
