When numbness starts after a spine block for breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing how quickly numbness starts after a specific type of pain block (erector spinae plane block) given before breast surgery. It may help people who are having breast surgery and are healthy enough to receive this block.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for breast surgery and will receive an erector spinae plane block (a numbing shot near your spine).
- Your general health is rated as ASA I, II, or III (usually healthy or mild to stable medical conditions).
- You do not have an allergy to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You are not pregnant, do not have a serious infection at the injection site, and do not have major uncontrolled heart, kidney, liver, or nerve problems.

This trial tests whether the position of patients during a nerve block (ESPB) affects pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to find the best way to give the block for better comfort after surgery.
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques (numbing methods) to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. Both approaches aim to keep you comfortable during and after your operation.
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 a new type of nerve block (SPSIP block) to see if it provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It focuses on patients who don't have chronic pain or other conditions that might affect the results.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (SPSIP and ESP blocks) to see which one works better for long-term pain after a single-sided breast surgery like mastectomy. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to manage chronic pain after surgery.
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
