Nerve blocks to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pectoral nerve block vs. paravertebral block) to see which one better prevents long-term pain after breast cancer surgery.

This trial tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during breast removal surgery to see which one better prevents long-term pain afterward. Both are given alongside general anesthesia and may help you recover with less chronic pain.
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 nerve blocks (pectoral and paravertebral) to see which one provides better pain relief and physical recovery after immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. It is for adults having this surgery for the first time, either for treatment or prevention.
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after breast removal surgery with immediate reconstruction. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study tests two different nerve-block methods (PECS-II and ESP) to see which better reduces painkiller use during breast surgery. A special monitor guides how much pain medicine you need. The goal is to help you recover with less opioid side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
