Numbing technique for breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a numbing method called a fascial plane block that is given before breast cancer surgery to reduce pain. It aims to see if this standardized numbing approach can be used for most patients having this type of surgery.

This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (a nerve block) to the side of the chest wall for pain relief after breast surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for reducing pain and the need for pain medicine.
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
This study tests different ways of numbing the chest area during breast surgery to improve pain control and recovery. If you're having breast surgery, this could help reduce pain and need for strong painkillers after the operation.
This study compares a numbing injection near the spine (called an erector spinae block) to a placebo (fake) injection, to see if it helps reduce pain after breast surgery. If you're having a day surgery on your breast, this could help improve how you feel during recovery.
This trial looks at whether giving a nerve block (an injection to numb nerves) before breast cancer surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It compares different methods to see which gives better pain relief.
This trial studies a type of pain-control injection (a nerve block) to help with anesthesia during breast cancer surgery. It may help improve comfort and reduce pain around the operation.
