New study tests if anesthesia can stop chronic pain after breast cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT05876390
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using loco-regional anesthesia (numbing a specific area) during breast cancer surgery can help prevent chronic pain that often lasts months or years after the operation. About 30% of women experience this long-term pain. Researchers will follow 1,500 patients across multiple hospitals to see how different anesthesia techniques affect pain outcomes. The study is observational, meaning it will observe real-world practices rather than assign treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
loco-regional anesthesia plus multimodal analgesia (NSAIDs, paracetamol)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify better ways to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not lead to a new standard of care.
