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.
This trial compares two types of numbing nerve blocks to help manage pain after breast cancer surgery with lymph node removal. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial tests a special numbing technique (called a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) to help reduce pain after mastectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces the need for pain medications after your procedure.
This study compares two types of pulsed radiofrequency (a minimally invasive treatment using radio waves) to see which better relieves shoulder pain in women who have had a mastectomy. It's for women who still have pain despite taking a high dose of tramadol.
