Comparing two ways to give a chest wall pain block for breast surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (a nerve block) to the side of the chest wall for pain relief after breast surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for reducing pain and the need for pain medicine.

This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
This study tests two different ways of numbing nerves near the chest to reduce pain after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). Both methods use local anesthetic injections, and researchers want to see which one works better for pain control.
This study tests two different nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. If you are having a modified radical mastectomy, you may qualify to help researchers find the most effective way to manage pain after surgery.
