Does a pre-surgery nerve block improve sleep after mastectomy?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a pain block given before mastectomy surgery helps women sleep better during recovery. If you are having a planned mastectomy and are not on certain sleep or mood medications, you may be able to join.

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 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 tests two different nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. If you are having a modified radical mastectomy, you may qualify to help researchers find the most effective way to manage pain after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which is better at preventing long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are scheduled for a mastectomy, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before a mastectomy (breast removal surgery) to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are having a mastectomy on one side with lymph node removal, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (thoracic interfascial plane block vs. erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. It may help you have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
