Nerve block comparison for breast surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different nerve-block methods (PECS-II and ESP) to see which better reduces painkiller use during breast surgery. A special monitor guides how much pain medicine you need. The goal is to help you recover with less opioid side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares different volumes of a nerve block (SPSIP) for pain relief after breast surgery. It aims to see if one volume provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
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 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 study compares two different types of nerve blocks (injections of numbing medicine) to see which works better for pain relief after breast removal surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this trial might help reduce your pain after the 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.
