Pain relief after breast cancer surgery with a nerve block
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new numbing injection (called a nerve block) placed near the ribs to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this block gives better pain relief than usual care.

This study compares a numbing injection near the spine (called an erector spinae block) to a placebo (fake) injection, to see if it helps reduce pain after breast surgery. If you're having a day surgery on your breast, this could help improve how you feel during recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This study tests a nerve block (called SPSIP) given during breast cancer surgery to see if it reduces inflammation and affects a protein called TLR4, which may help with pain and recovery. If you're having breast cancer surgery, this might help you heal better with less discomfort.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It will help determine which block works better to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after a mastectomy.
