Prevention of Post-Mastectomy Breast Pain Using Ambulatory Continuous Paravertebral Blocks
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Specific Aim 1: To determine if, compared with current and customary analgesia, the addition of a multiple-day ambulatory continuous paravertebral block decreases the incidence and severity of post-mastectomy pain.
Hypothesis 1: Following mastectomy, the incidence and severity of breast pain will be significantly decreased in the week following surgery with a multiple-day ambulatory continuous paravertebral block as compared with patients receiving standard-of-care treatment (as measured on the 11-point numeric rating scale).
Hypothesis 2: Following mastectomy, the incidence and severity of chronic pain will be significantly decreased three months following multiple-day ambulatory continuous paravertebral blocks as compared with patients receiving standard-of-care treatment (as measured on the 11-point numeric rating scale).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Infusion
Patients will be randomized to receive a continuous infusion of Normal Saline via a Paravertebral Nerve Block.
|
Patients randomized to this group will receive an initial catheter placement using the standard Ultrasound-guided Technique.
For the surgical procedure they will receive 15cc of 0.5%Ropivicaine.
Following the surgical procedure they will receive a pain pump filled with normal saline.
The normal saline infusion will continue for the 3 days following surgery.
All patients will have access to other pain relievers for break-through pain.
All patients will have the outcome measures assessed.
|
Active Comparator: Ropivicaine 0.4% Infusion
Patients will be randomized to receive a continuous infusion of 0.4% Ropivicaine via a Paravertebral Nerve Block.
|
Patients randomized to this group will receive an initial catheter placement using the standard Ultrasound-guided Technique.
For the surgical procedure they will receive 15cc of 0.5%Ropivicaine.
Following the surgical procedure they will receive a pain pump filled with 0.4%Ropivicaine.
The 0.4%Ropivicaine infusion will continue for the 3 days following surgery.
All patients will have access to other pain relievers for break-through pain.
All patients will have the outcome measures assessed.
