Adding morphine to a nerve block for mastectomy pain
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at adding morphine to a nerve block (ESP block) to see if it improves pain control after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this might help you feel more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which is better at preventing long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are scheduled for a mastectomy, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding magnesium to a numbing nerve block can reduce pain after breast removal surgery. It compares the standard block with one that includes magnesium, looking at both short-term and long-term pain relief.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This study tests two different numbing shots for the chest wall to see which one provides better pain relief during and after mastectomy surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (thoracic interfascial plane block vs. erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. It may help you have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
This trial compares two nerve-block techniques (SPSIP and ESPB) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve recovery after a modified radical mastectomy.
