Summary
This study looked at whether a special numbing injection called PECS, given during mastectomy (breast removal surgery), can lower the chance of having chronic pain 6 months later. 194 women with breast cancer took part. The goal was to see if this simple pain-blocking technique could make recovery better and reduce long-term discomfort.
