A Study on Pain After Breast Reconstruction

Description

The purpose of this study is to find out how common persistent postmastectomy pain (PPMP) is among people who have had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery for their breast cancer. The study will also look at how effective regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) surgery is for reducing pain from neuropathic PPMP after breast reconstruction.
