Pain relief breathing study for breast surgery patients
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if different amounts of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) injected near the ribs can help maintain good lung function during and after breast surgery. It aims to find the best dose to keep you breathing well while controlling pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether giving a numbing injection around the ribs before or after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS) works better to reduce pain afterward. The goal is to find the best timing to help you recover more comfortably.
This trial is testing a nerve block (a numbing injection) placed near the breastbone to see if it helps your lungs work better after heart surgery. If you are having planned heart surgery through a breastbone cut, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a numbing injection (nerve block) placed near your spine during breast cancer surgery to see if it reduces pain and inflammation afterward. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with potentially fewer opioid painkillers.
This trial tests two different types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one provides better pain relief during and after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
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 study tests different ways of numbing the body during breast surgery to see which works best for pain control and recovery. If you are having breast surgery, you may be able to join.
