Numbing methods for pain after breast reduction surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after breast reduction: a nerve block called ESPB versus lidocaine given through an IV. The goal is to see which method works better for people having this surgery for non-cancer reasons.
