NCT ID NCT06889870
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block (PECS II) or local anesthesia works better for pain after breast cancer surgery, without using opioids. 124 women undergoing breast surgery were randomly assigned to receive one of the two methods. Researchers measured pain, nausea, and opioid use 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
Ropivacaine (local anesthetic) for nerve block or infiltration
What this could lead to
If PECS II block works better, it could offer a more effective, opioid-free way to manage pain after breast cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study, so results may not apply to all patients. Nerve blocks carry risks like infection or nerve damage, though rare.
