Summary
This study tested whether injecting a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) during breast cancer surgery could prevent chronic pain that sometimes lingers for months. 260 women having breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy took part. The main goal was to see if fewer women reported breast pain 3 months after surgery compared to those who did not receive the injection.
