New pain block study aims to ease recovery after mastectomy
NCT ID NCT06187909
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery. Eighty-eight women received either a PECS II or MTP block before surgery, and their pain levels were tracked for 24 hours. The goal was to find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
