Comparing two nerve blocks for breast cancer surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one provides better pain relief during and after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
