Nerve block showdown: which injection stops chronic pain after breast surgery?
NCT ID NCT07674836
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks given before breast surgery to see which better prevents chronic pain that can last for months. Women aged 18-65 scheduled for mastectomy will receive either a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block or an erector spinae plane block. The study measures pain severity and interference three months after surgery using a standard questionnaire.
