Comparing nerve blocks for pain management in breast surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three ultrasound-guided regional anesthetic techniques—Pectoral nerve block, Erector Spinae Plane block, and Serratus Anterior Plane block—in managing postoperative pain for patients undergoing elective breast surgeries. The research focuses on improving pain control, as inadequate management can lead to chronic pain and reliance on opioids, which have undesirable side effects. By utilizing these fascial plane blocks, the study seeks to reduce surgical stress response and enhance recovery outcomes for patients. The study will involve female participants aged 21 to 65 who are classified as ASA physical status I or II.
