NCT ID NCT05757778
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve reconstruction procedure can restore nipple sensation in women undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Six women having bilateral reconstruction will receive the nerve graft on one breast only, acting as their own control. The main goal is to measure sensation using a monofilament test.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Sensory nerve coaptation (nerve reconstruction using a nerve graft)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help restore nipple sensation after mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is surgical and carries risks like infection or nerve damage.
