SPSIP vs ESP Block for Pain After Mastectomy

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

The trial compares two ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks commonly used for postoperative analgesia in mastectomy patients. It focuses on ease of application and patient comfort during block placement, with secondary observations on block characteristics and analgesic impact. Eligible participants are adults 25–65 years old, female, with ASA I–III status, undergoing mastectomy. The study is conducted at Sakarya University, leveraging routine clinical practice to assess real-world applicability of these blocks. Outcomes may inform anesthesiology practice about which block is simpler to perform and more comfortable for patients during placement.
