Numbing injection for less pain after breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special numbing injection (called a serratus posterior intercostal plane block) can reduce pain and inflammation after breast surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two different nerve-block techniques to reduce pain after breast surgery. The study compares a serratus block with an ESP block—both are injections of numbing medication near nerves—to see which works better for managing pain without heavy opioid use.
This study tests whether nerve blocks—injections that numb specific nerves around the breast—can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after breast removal surgery. If it works, it could help women recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of numbing nerve blocks to help manage pain after breast cancer surgery with lymph node removal. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial tests a special numbing technique (called a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) to help reduce pain after mastectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces the need for pain medications after your procedure.
