Opioid-free anesthesia to reduce long-term post-mastectomy pain
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a mastectomy, with or without breast reconstruction
- You have never had breast surgery before
- You do not have a known allergy to the medicines used in anesthesia
- You do not have ongoing (chronic) pain that requires regular painkillers
- Your baseline oxygen level is 95% or higher (SpO2 ≥95%)

This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
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.
This study tests two pain relief methods to see if they reduce long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. It aims to improve recovery and comfort for patients.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or lidocaine to anesthesia during mastectomy helps reduce long-term pain after surgery. It's for women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy with lymph node removal.
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.
