Summary

This study looks at whether getting a paravertebral nerve block both before and after rib removal surgery helps control pain better than getting the block only before surgery. About 50 adults with thoracic outlet syndrome will take part. Researchers will measure pain levels and quality of life to see if the extra block makes a difference.
