Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of local anesthetic (chlorhydrate of ropivacaine) to prevent chronic pain after breast surgery for cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An estimated 20-65% of women treated with breast surgery for breast cancer experience chronic pain in the treated breast. Patients will be randomize between: infiltration with chlorhydrate of ropivacaine at the time of breast surgery for cancer versus placebo.Intra-operative analgesia will be standardized as well as peri-operative pain management.
