Nerve block for pain after breast cancer surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing medicine injected near the chest wall during breast cancer surgery can reduce long-term pain and improve recovery. It may help patients experience less pain after surgery and lower the chance of ongoing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at whether giving a nerve block (an injection to numb nerves) before breast cancer surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It compares different methods to see which gives better pain relief.
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 study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the chest area) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
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 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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
