Comparing two nerve blocks for chronic pain after breast surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 treatments (nerve blocks) to see which provides better pain relief during and after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this trial may help reduce your pain after the operation.
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 trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
This study tests two different nerve-block methods (PECS-II and ESP) to see which better reduces painkiller use during breast surgery. A special monitor guides how much pain medicine you need. The goal is to help you recover with less opioid side effects.
