Nerve Blocks for Pain Control in Breast Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether nerve blocks—injections that numb specific nerves around the breast—can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after breast removal surgery. If it works, it could help women recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) breast removal surgery for cancer

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 reduction surgery. It may help you have a smoother recovery with less discomfort.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (SPSIP and ESP blocks) to see which one works better for long-term pain after a single-sided breast surgery like mastectomy. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to manage chronic pain after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before a mastectomy (breast removal surgery) to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are having a mastectomy on one side with lymph node removal, you may be able to join.
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 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.
