New study aims to uncover why mastectomy pain lingers for some women

NCT ID NCT07271589

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will follow 86 women scheduled for mastectomy to understand why some develop long-term pain while others recover smoothly. Researchers will test pain sensitivity before surgery, analyze blood for inflammation markers, and assess emotional health and life stressors. The goal is to identify factors that predict chronic pain, which could lead to better, personalized pain management after breast surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this research could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for chronic pain after mastectomy and tailor pain management approaches to individual needs.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it will not directly improve pain. Results may not apply to all patients or lead to immediate changes in care.
