Which block works best for breast surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT07302399
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SAP and SPSIP) to see which one provides better pain relief after mammoplasty (breast surgery). Sixty women aged 18-85 will receive one of the blocks along with a numbing medicine (bupivacaine). Researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and satisfaction over 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
- Bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If one block works better, it could lead to less pain and less need for strong painkillers after breast surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 people. The results may not apply to everyone, and both blocks may work similarly.
