The present study compares the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block, Pectoral (PECS II) block, and Serratus-Intercostal Fascial Plane (SIFP) block. This is the first article to compare these three locoregional nerve block techniques in acute and chronic postoperative pain in breast tumour surgery. From June 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, 103 patients undergoing breast cancer surgery were randomised to undergo one of three locoregional techniques (35 for ESP block, 34 for PECS II block, 34 for SIFP block). Locoregional techniques were performed under light sedation and then, general anaesthesia was used for the breast cancer surgery. Outcomes measured included pain (visual analog scale [VAS] in immediate postoperatory and at 24 hours. It also was collected opioid use at 24 hours, adverse events, and length of stay (for acute postoperatory). Moreover, at 3 months, a telephone interview was conducted with the patient and VAS was questioned. A year later, the patient was questioned again and asked for VAS, location of her pain, and pharmacological treatment. It was collected if patients were assisted or not by a Pain Unit.
The aim of this study is to investigate the sleep quality, anxiety and depression levels in women with mastalgia using internationally validated scales. Additionally the investigators aim to question the amount and frequency of consumption of nutritional elements which are known to aggravate mastalgia. Finally by combining and analyzing the information gathered, the investigators intend to set light to the etiopathologic and clinic aspects of mastalgia.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the incidence of chronic pain following breast cancer surgery in Cyprus, discover its associated risk factors and explore the impact of Pecs Blocks on the appearance of post mastectomy chronic pain symptoms
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of targeted individualised physiotherapeutic treatment on aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal pain. This trial asks a critical, previously unaddressed, question of clinical importance about management of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain secondary to aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Many breast cancer survivors taking AIs experience muscle and/or joint pain, which may cause many to stop taking AIs and may inhibit exercise or physical activity, despite its known health benefits. Physiotherapeutic treatment is considered a standard management strategy for many MSK pain conditions, in which targeted specific exercise therapy is now as an evidence-based management strategy with proven effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Thus, referral to physiotherapy would be a natural strategy in women who experience MSK pain as an adverse effect to AI therapy. However, it is unclear if physiotherapeutic treatment has similar effects on AI induced MSK pain as in primary MSK pain. Two systematic review (one with a meta-analysis) have assessed the effect of different pain management strategies for AI-induced MSK-pain and found great uncertainty in the effects of exercise, relaxation techniques and acupuncture. They also found limited evidence on the subject and moderate to low quality of the studies included. The evidence on the subject is clearly limited but the need for a treatment option to minimize the side-effects of the AI medication real and necessary. Targeted individualised physiotherapeutic treatment is tailored for the affected (painful) tissue/joint/region specifically and is based on extensive experience and evidence from MSK physiotherapy in rheumatic and orthopedic patient population. Targeted individualised physiotherapy treatment take into account the individual patient, her constitution, the painful tissue/region/joint (e.g. its biomechanics, physiological properties, and inflammatory activity), and is adjusted according to day-to-day variations in pain and progressed based on the interaction between changes in symptoms and function and tissue healing. Such approach is expected to yield a greater effect on MSK pain, than a generic exercise program. Further, targeted treatment programs are delivered by trained physiotherapists, who have specific clinical training and experience in clinical management of patient and handling MSK pain, which is also expected to yield better clinical outcomes than programs delivered by people without clinical training. Altogether it is very likely that a targeted physiotherapy treatment will be of significant benefit to breast cancer survivors with AI induced MSK pain. The aim is to compare targeted individualized physiotherapeutic treatment and medical care with medical care alone on aromatase inhibitor associated musculoskeletal pain in female breast cancer survivors. It is hypothesized that targeted physiotherapeutic treatment and medical care reduces musculoskeletal pain significantly in women with aromatase inhibitor associated musculoskeletal pain when compared to medical care alone. The plan is to include 120 participants from the oncology department at Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Participants will partake in the study for a total of 26 weeks. During the first 12 week the intervention group will receive the physiotherapeutic treatment twice a week. The medical care visits are place at the first visit to the clinic, week 13 and week 26.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide according to International Agency for Research on Cancer. Unfortunately, cancer survivors often face long-term symptoms that occur or persist after completion of treatment. In addition to fatigue, pain is the most common persistent symptom after cancer and cancer treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of pain in cancer survivors is not clear for many physicians. A mechanism-based classification of pain in cancer survivors might be a critical step for clinical reasoning, especially for discrimination of different pain types. The primary aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of the predominant type of pain in Turkish breast cancer survivors using a recent published clinical algorithm.
The proposed randomized study evaluates whether a controlled breathing intervention could be efficacious for reducing pain in the MRI-guided breast biopsy setting. Support for this intervention stems from experimental and clinical studies on the effects of controlled breathing on pain. Implementing a controlled breathing intervention during MRI-guided breast biopsy has the potential to provide effective pain management in this outpatient setting. The primary study objectives are to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a novel audio-recorded controlled breathing intervention for reducing breast and body pain in women undergoing MRI-guided breast biopsy. The secondary study objectives are to evaluate the effects of controlled breathing on measures of physiological reactivity (i.e., blood pressure and heart rate), pain catastrophizing, and self-efficacy for pain and anxiety.
The purpose of this research study is to determine how well the local anesthetic, liposomal bupivacaine, controls postoperative pain after mastectomy and breast reconstruction.
