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 evaluate the effectiveness of two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—pectoral nerve block and mid-point transverse process block—in providing postoperative analgesia for women undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Patients will undergo a thorough preoperative assessment, including medical history and laboratory tests, before being randomly assigned to one of the two nerve block techniques. The procedure will be performed by an experienced anesthesiologist under sterile conditions after the induction of general anesthesia. Pain levels will be monitored using a numeric rating scale to assess the effectiveness of each technique.
