Nerve Block to Reduce Pain After Breast Cancer Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove your breast
- Your overall health is stable enough for general anesthesia (sleep during surgery)
- Your weight is proportionate to your height (BMI between 18–29)
- You have no allergy or sensitivity to ropivacaine (a common numbing medication)
- You are not taking chronic pain medications or have ongoing chronic pain conditions

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 compares two types of numbing nerve blocks to help manage pain after breast cancer surgery with lymph node removal. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
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.
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.
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 compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It will help determine which block works better to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after a mastectomy.
