Comparing three injections for nerve pain after breast cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests three different injections (a nerve block, capsaicin, or botox) to find which works best for chronic nerve pain after breast cancer surgery. If you have ongoing pain in a small area on your chest, armpit, or arm that started 3 to 9 months after surgery, this study may help you find better relief.

This trial tests two different numbing injections to see which one works better for pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and help find a better way to manage pain.
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 trial compares two nerve-block techniques (SPSIP and ESPB) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve recovery after a modified radical mastectomy.
This trial studies whether botulinum toxin A (Botox) injections can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. It may help if your pain started soon after chemotherapy and fits the trial’s specific nerve-pain pattern.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Both are injections near chest muscles that can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
