First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compared two ways to manage pain during breast cancer surgery: a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) and a lidocaine drip given through a vein. Researchers measured inflammation markers and pain levels in 40 women undergoing surgery. The goal was to see which method better reduces inflammation and improves recovery.
