Nerve block with sedation for breast surgery comfort
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a numbing injection (serratus anterior plane block) with a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) helps reduce pain during and after breast removal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a modified radical mastectomy (complete breast removal surgery).
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are in good general health (ASA I or II).
- You do not have any bleeding disorders.
- Your kidney and liver function tests are normal.
- You do not have an infection near the injection site on your chest.

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 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.
This trial tests whether a special numbing injection (called a serratus posterior intercostal plane block) can reduce pain and inflammation after breast surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial tests two different nerve-block techniques to reduce pain after breast surgery. The study compares a serratus block with an ESP block—both are injections of numbing medication near nerves—to see which works better for managing pain without heavy opioid use.
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 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.
