Nerve Block for Pain Relief After Breast Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
