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 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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control during and after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy with lymph node removal, you may be able to join.
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 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.
