Numbing injection to prevent long-term pain after mastectomy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (liposome bupivacaine) into the chest wall muscles before surgery can reduce long-term pain and sensitivity after mastectomy. It may help prevent chronic pain following breast cancer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a radical mastectomy (complete removal of the breast) for breast cancer.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You do not have chronic pain or take strong painkillers (like morphine) regularly.
- You have no history of chest surgery or serious chest injury.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines like lidocaine or bupivacaine.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or lower.

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 trial tests whether a special numbing injection (called a serratus posterior intercostal plane block) can reduce pain and inflammation after breast surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether using different amounts of a pain-blocking injection (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) can reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. It aims to find the best dose for comfort and recovery.
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 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.
