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.
This study tests a new numbing injection (called a nerve block) placed near the ribs to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this block gives better pain relief than usual care.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This study tests whether adding tramadol to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) makes pain control better after breast cancer surgery. If you're having a mastectomy, this could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study tests whether a numbing medicine injected near the chest wall during breast cancer surgery can reduce long-term pain and improve recovery. It may help patients experience less pain after surgery and lower the chance of ongoing pain.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a long-running lidocaine (a numbing medicine) drip given around the time of breast surgery can improve long-term post-surgery pain and recovery. It may help people who have pain after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.
