Comparing numbing blocks for breast surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares three ways of numbing the chest muscle and rib area with ultrasound during breast surgery to see which one works best for pain control. If you are having breast surgery and want to help improve pain management, this might be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman between 21 and 65 years old
