Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before breast cancer surgery (modified radical mastectomy) to see which one helps patients recover better. Sixty women will receive either a newer block called subtransverse interligamentary plane block or the standard thoracic paravertebral block. The main goal is to measure recovery quality using a questionnaire that covers pain, comfort, emotions, and independence.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: nerve block (local anesthetic injection)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a newer, potentially safer nerve block provides recovery quality as good as the standard block after mastectomy.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. It may not prove the new block is better, and results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
