Summary

This trial asks whether a single nerve block can match the pain relief of multiple nerve blocks after breast cancer surgery. Women aged 18-65 scheduled for breast cancer surgery will receive either one or several injections of a local anesthetic near the spine. The study measures pain intensity, opioid use, side effects, and patient satisfaction to see which approach offers better recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Intertransverse process block (nerve block) with bupivacaine
What this could lead to: If effective, a single injection could provide pain relief comparable to multiple injections, simplifying the procedure and potentially reducing risks.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all patients. Nerve blocks carry risks like bleeding, infection, or nerve damage, though rare.
