Pain relief after breast cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining an ultrasound-guided nerve block with a low-dose ketamine drip can reduce long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help prevent chronic pain from developing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 75 years old
- You have breast cancer and are scheduled for mastectomy (with or without lymph node removal)
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA I–III)
- You are not having a double mastectomy or breast reconstruction with flaps or implants
- You do not have chronic pain, nerve pain, or take strong painkillers (opioids) long-term

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques (numbing methods) to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. Both approaches aim to keep you comfortable during and after your operation.
This trial tests a special numbing technique (called a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) to help reduce pain after mastectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces the need for pain medications after your procedure.
This trial studies a type of pain-control injection (a nerve block) to help with anesthesia during breast cancer surgery. It may help improve comfort and reduce pain around the operation.
This study tests a new type of nerve block (SPSIP block) to see if it provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It focuses on patients who don't have chronic pain or other conditions that might affect the results.
