Numbing methods for breast surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests different ways of numbing the chest area during breast surgery to improve pain control and recovery. If you're having breast surgery, this could help reduce pain and need for strong painkillers after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.

This study compares two different times to give a numbing injection near the chest to reduce pain after breast removal surgery (mastectomy). The injection is called a nerve block and may help you feel better and recover faster after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the chest area) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
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 two different numbing shots for the chest wall to see which one provides better pain relief during and after mastectomy surgery.
This study compares three ways of numbing the chest muscle and rib area with ultrasound during breast surgery to see which one works best for pain control. If you are having breast surgery and want to help improve pain management, this might be a good fit.
This study tests whether adding an ultrasound-guided nerve block to standard pain medicine reduces pain after breast augmentation surgery. The nerve block numbs the chest area, which may help you need less pain medication and recover more comfortably.
