NCT ID NCT03794388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a capsaicin skin patch (made from chili peppers) works better than oral pregabalin for treating nerve pain that starts soon after breast cancer surgery. 140 women who had surgery for breast cancer and developed nerve pain within 2 months were enrolled. The goal was to see if early treatment with the patch could prevent long-term chronic pain.
