Neuropathic Pain Induced by Mastectomy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of the Oral Route of Magnesium on Pre and Post-mastectomy on the Post-surgery Pain
In breast cancer patients undergoing a mastectomy, the aim of this study is to evaluate if the magnesium administered for 6 weeks starting two weeks before the surgery induces a decrease of pain intensity one month post-mastectomy compared to the placebo group.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial conducted in the
Oncology Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand, France, in 100 patients suffering from breast cancer
and undergoing a total mastectomy.
This clinical trial compares magnesium and placebo for the prevention of neuropathic pain
induced by mastectomy assessed with a (0-10) numerical pain rating scale. Cognition,
anxiety, depression, sleep and quality of life are also assessed.
