Bupivacaine vs Placebo for Unilateral Mastectomy Surgical Site Post-operative Pain Control
Start Date
11/16/2017
Completion Date
11/1/2026
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare using FDA-approved bupivacaine (a numbing medicine), along with the usual medications for post-operative pain control to using the usual medications for postoperative pain control alone. The addition of bupivacaine to the surgical wound site with the usual pain medications could better manage your pain immediately after surgery and reduce the amount of opioid medications taken after surgery. This study will allow the researchers to know whether this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach.
