Adding magnesium to nerve blocks for post-mastectomy pain
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding magnesium to a numbing nerve block can reduce pain after breast removal surgery. It compares the standard block with one that includes magnesium, looking at both short-term and long-term pain relief.

This trial tests if adding magnesium sulfate to a nerve block can improve pain control after mastectomy. It is for women with non-metastatic breast cancer who are scheduled for a modified radical mastectomy.
This study tests whether adding magnesium to the standard numbing medicine injected into the wound during breast cancer surgery can better control pain after the operation. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether adding magnesium sulfate to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in a nerve block can reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery for upper abdominal cancer. It aims to improve pain control and reduce side effects from opioids.
This study looks at adding morphine to a nerve block (ESP block) to see if it improves pain control after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this might help you feel more comfortable.
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 trial compares two nerve-block techniques (SPSIP and ESPB) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve recovery after a modified radical mastectomy.
