New study tests nerve block to ease pain after mastectomy
NCT ID NCT06276257
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special nerve block (paravertebral block) can better control pain after a mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction compared to usual pain medicines. About 60 women aged 18-70 will take part. The goal is to see if the nerve block reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers in the first few days after surgery.
