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 are scheduled for a gender-affirming mastectomy or a nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction
- 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 compares two ways to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin: a conventional (open) surgery versus a endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, both followed by immediate implant reconstruction. The goal is to see which approach leads to better feeling (sensory recovery) in the breast after surgery.
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 tests whether adding a nerve graft during nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction helps restore feeling in the breast after surgery. It compares sensation outcomes in patients who receive the graft versus those who do not.
This study tests a technique that reattaches nerves during breast reconstruction to help restore feeling in the new breast. It may improve sensation and quality of life after surgery.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation device can help improve sensation in the breasts after preventive mastectomy with implant reconstruction. It may help you regain feeling after surgery.
