Nerve Block for Pain Relief After Breast Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old
- You are having a planned single-side mastectomy with removal of underarm lymph nodes
- You do not have a known allergy to local anesthetics (numbing medications like bupivacaine)
- You do not have bleeding problems or take blood thinners that cannot be safely stopped before surgery
- You can rate your pain on a 0–10 scale and provide written consent to participate
- You do not have chronic pain conditions or regularly take strong pain or nerve medications

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 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 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.
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.
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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (mid-point transverse process to pleura block vs. serratus anterior plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. You would receive one of these blocks before surgery to help manage pain after.
