Comparing two nerve blocks for mastectomy pain relief
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 study tests two different ways of numbing nerves near the chest to reduce pain after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). Both methods use local anesthetic injections, and researchers want to see which one works better for pain control.
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.
