Nerve blocks to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections given before breast removal surgery to help reduce pain and improve recovery. The goal is to see which method works better for comfort and quality of life after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18–65 years
- You are scheduled for removal of breast tissue (modified radical mastectomy) under general anesthesia
- You are in generally good health (ASA Class I–III, meaning no severe organ disease)
- You do not have a known allergy to local anesthetic medications
- You are not currently taking blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder
- You are able to complete a short recovery survey (QoR-15) after surgery

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Both are injections near chest muscles that can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests two different numbing injections to see which one works better for pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and help find a better way to manage pain.
This study compares two different amounts of a numbing medicine (nerve block) injected near the back of the chest to see which one works better for pain after breast removal surgery. The goal is to find a way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two nerve block techniques to control pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery with lymph node removal, this study may help reduce your pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during breast removal surgery to see which one better prevents long-term pain afterward. Both are given alongside general anesthesia and may help you recover with less chronic pain.
This trial tests a specific nerve block to see if it can reduce pain after breast reduction surgery, possibly helping with recovery and lowering the need for strong painkillers.
