Regional anesthesia to reduce long-term breast surgery pain
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years old
- You must be having an oncological breast surgery
- Your surgery must be one of these: simple mastectomy, quadrantectomy, or a mastectomy/quadrantectomy with lymph node or axillary procedures
- Bilateral (both sides) breast procedures may also qualify
- You should not be under 18 years old

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.
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 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 trial compares local anesthesia (awake) to general anesthesia (asleep) for breast-conserving surgery. The goal is to see if local anesthesia is a safe and effective option for removing early-stage breast cancer.
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 Phase 3 study tests whether receiving lidocaine through an IV during breast surgery can lower the chance of ongoing pain afterward. If it works, it may help some people avoid chronic, surgery-related pain in the chest wall, shoulder, or arm.
