Comparing two nerve-block procedures for post-mastectomy pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two nerve-block procedures to see which one better relieves chronic pain after breast cancer surgery. The procedures aim to 'reset' the nerves that send pain signals to the brain, potentially reducing your pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 60 years old.

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 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 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 (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 study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. The blocks are injected near the chest wall to numb the area during and after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve block near the neck (stellate ganglion block) can help prevent depression after mastectomy for breast cancer. It is for women who are generally healthy and have no history of mood disorders.
