NCT ID NCT06225180

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 500 patients with breast abscesses to see which first treatment works best: draining with a needle (aspiration) or making a small cut (incision and drainage). The goal was to find risk factors that lead to needing more than one treatment. The study was stopped early, but the information gathered may help doctors choose the right treatment from the start.
