Nerve blocks for pain relief after mastectomy surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. The blocks are injected near the chest wall to numb the area during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
