Summary
This study tests whether a stellate ganglion block (an injection near nerves in the neck) given before mastectomy can prevent depression and chronic pain afterward. About 140 women with breast cancer will receive either the block or a placebo. The goal is to see if this simple procedure can reduce the need for antidepressants and improve recovery.
