Study on sensation and satisfaction after mastectomy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how people feel after mastectomy, including transgender patients and those having nipple-sparing surgery. It aims to understand sensation and satisfaction to improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older

- You do not have a nerve condition that prevents sensation testing
- You are not taking medications that affect nerve healing
- Both reconstructed breasts must be treated the same way (both with or both without nerve reconnection)

This trial compares different surgical methods to preserve nipple sensation in women having a nipple-sparing mastectomy. It aims to see which technique best helps maintain feeling in the nipple after surgery.
This study tests a nerve repair technique to help restore feeling in the breast after reconstruction surgery. If you are having a mastectomy and breast reconstruction, this may help regain sensation in the reconstructed breast.
This trial is testing a surgical technique to reconnect nerves in the nipple and areola after a mastectomy, aiming to restore feeling. It is for women with breast cancer who are having a nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction.
This study looks at why some people have more pain than others after breast surgery. It aims to find biological and personal factors that affect pain, which could lead to better pain treatments in the future.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nipple-sparing mastectomy to see which one helps preserve more feeling in your breast afterward. If you are having this type of surgery with an implant, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether a special nerve surgery, called a regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI), can prevent long-term pain after mastectomy with reconstruction. The goal is to improve your recovery and quality of life.
