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.

- 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 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 two different numbing injections to see which one works better for pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and help find a better way to manage pain.
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.
This trial compares giving one injection versus several injections of a numbing medicine around the spine to control pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after the procedure.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy): local anesthesia (numbing the area) versus general anesthesia (being asleep). The goal is to see which approach is more practical and helpful for patients.
