Comparing two nerve blocks for implant-based breast reconstruction pain
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (pectoral and paravertebral) to see which one provides better pain relief and physical recovery after immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. It is for adults having this surgery for the first time, either for treatment or prevention.

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 tests a nerve block to reduce pain after breast removal surgery with immediate reconstruction. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pectoral nerve block vs. paravertebral block) to see which one better prevents long-term pain after breast cancer surgery.
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.
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 tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during breast removal surgery to see which one better prevents long-term pain afterward. Both are given alongside general anesthesia and may help you recover with less chronic pain.
