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.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Both are injections near chest muscles that can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It will help determine which block works better to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after a mastectomy.
