Nerve blocks for pain relief in breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether giving a nerve block (an injection to numb nerves) before breast cancer surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It compares different methods to see which gives better pain relief.

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 different numbing injections (nerve blocks) used after breast surgery to see which one controls pain better. If you are having mammoplasty, this may help reduce pain and improve your recovery.
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 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 trial tests whether a special numbing injection (called a fascial plane block) given before breast surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It compares this to standard pain management to see if it helps you recover with less discomfort.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the chest area) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
