New pain block may ease suffering after mastectomy
NCT ID NCT06533566
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two methods to control pain after a mastectomy: a nerve block in the back (erector spinae plane block) and numbing medicine injected into the wound. 37 women took part. The goal was to see which approach reduces pain and the need for morphine in the first day 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
Erector spinae plane block (nerve block procedure) and local wound infiltration (injection of anesthetic into surgical site)
What this could lead to
If one method works better, it could help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after mastectomy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 37 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain relief varies from person to person.
