magnesium in nerve block for better pain relief after mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a medication called magnesium sulfate to a nerve block can improve pain relief after breast removal surgery. If it works, patients may have less pain and need fewer pain medicines after the operation.
