This trial tests whether giving a nerve block (a numbing injection near the chest muscles) before or after mastectomy surgery affects pain and recovery. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery after your mastectomy.
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 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 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 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 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.
