Nerve blocks for pain relief after breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the chest area) to see which one provides better pain relief after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
