Nerve blocks for pain relief after breast removal surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks (injections of numbing medicine) to see which works better for pain relief after breast removal surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this trial might help reduce your pain after the operation.
