Pain relief after mastectomy: RIB vs RIB plus nerve block
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after mastectomy: one using a specific nerve block (RIB), and the other combining that block with another type of nerve block (DPIPB). The goal is to see which approach offers better pain control in the first 24 hours after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
