Nerve Block for Pain Relief During Breast Reduction Surgery
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a special numbing technique (pectoral block) to help control pain after breast reduction surgery in women with very large breasts causing symptoms like neck, shoulder, or back pain. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces pain better than standard pain control methods.
