Can a second nerve block cut opioid use after breast reduction?
NCT ID NCT07432256
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether adding a nerve block near the breastbone to a standard chest wall block could reduce painkiller use after breast reduction surgery. 90 women were split into three groups: one got no nerve block, one got a standard block, and one got both blocks. Researchers measured how much opioid pain medication they needed in the first 24 hours after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
local anesthetic (nerve block injection)
What this could lead to
If adding the extra nerve block works, it could give surgeons a better way to control pain after breast reduction and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 90 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The extra block might not provide meaningful additional pain relief.
