New pain block may beat standard for mastectomy recovery
NCT ID NCT07601490
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. About 70 women will receive either a newer block (SPSIP) or a standard block (SAP) before surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers like opioids in the first 24 hours after the operation.
