Pain Relief Methods After Breast Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques (numbing methods) to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. Both approaches aim to keep you comfortable during and after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and need a modified radical mastectomy (removal of breast tissue and nearby lymph nodes)
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI, a measure of body weight relative to height) is between 20 and 35 kg/m²
- You are in fair to moderate health (ASA class II or III—meaning you have manageable health conditions like controlled diabetes or high blood pressure)
- Your surgery is scheduled as an elective procedure (planned in advance, not an emergency)
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant

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.
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 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 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 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 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.
