This study tests two different numbing shots for the chest wall to see which one provides better pain relief during and after mastectomy surgery.
This study compares two different times to give a numbing injection near the chest to reduce pain after breast removal surgery (mastectomy). The injection is called a nerve block and may help you feel better and recover faster after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether a specific pain-numbing nerve block given during mastectomy can reduce chronic (long-lasting) pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help some people use less pain medicine later by lowering nerve-related pain after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Both are injections near chest muscles that can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
