First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether avoiding opioids during breast cancer surgery can reduce side effects like nausea and breathing problems, while still controlling pain. About 200 adults having a lumpectomy or mastectomy will be randomly assigned to receive either opioid-free or standard anesthesia. Researchers will track pain levels, opioid use, and recovery for up to 6 months after surgery.
