New study tests better pain relief after breast surgery
NCT ID NCT07301840
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two methods to control pain after breast-conserving surgery: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (ESPB) and local wound infiltration (LWI). 66 adult women took part, and researchers measured how much morphine they needed in the first 24 hours after surgery. The goal was to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
