New nerve blocks could cut opioid use after breast surgery

NCT ID NCT06862752

Summary

This study compared two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after breast reduction surgery. Researchers tested whether injections near the spine (erector spinae block) or near the shoulder blade (serratus anterior block) work better to reduce pain and limit opioid medication needs. The trial involved 80 women undergoing elective breast reduction surgery to see which approach provides more effective pain relief with fewer side effects.
