Zapping nerves to ease Post-Mastectomy pain: which target works best?
NCT ID NCT07675096
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two types of pulsed radiofrequency—a procedure that uses electrical pulses to calm overactive nerves—for treating chronic pain after mastectomy. One targets the stellate ganglion in the neck, the other targets sympathetic ganglia in the upper back. Researchers will compare how well each reduces pain and improves daily function over six months in 75 women.
