Impact of Regional Anesthesia on Chronic Post-operative Pain
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Breast surgery: Breast surgery
analgesia: Multimodal analgesia
Study summary
Approximately 55,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in Italy every year and the first-line therapy for carcinoma in situ, stage I, II and IIIA is surgical removal of the tumour. The incidence of chronic pain after breast cancer surgery is confirmed around 30%. This study aims to evaluate the impact of loco-regional anesthesia techniques in the context of multimodal analgesia in the prevention of chronic pain post-oncological breast surgery
Eligibility
