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.

- 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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether a numbing medicine injected near the chest wall during breast cancer surgery can reduce long-term pain and improve recovery. It may help patients experience less pain after surgery and lower the chance of ongoing pain.
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 looks at whether giving a nerve block (an injection to numb nerves) before breast cancer surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It compares different methods to see which gives better pain relief.
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.
