ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two types of pain relief methods, called the erector spinae plane block and the serratus anterior plane block, for women undergoing elective breast reduction surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief after surgery, helping to improve recovery and reduce the need for opioids, which are strong pain medications that can have side effects.

To participate in this study, women aged 18 to 65 who are in good health (classified as ASA I-II) and planning to have breast reduction surgery may be eligible. However, certain conditions could prevent participation, such as allergies to specific anesthetics, infections at the injection site, or certain health issues like severe obesity or liver problems. If you choose to take part, you will receive one of the two pain relief methods and will be monitored for its effectiveness in managing your post-surgery pain. This study is not currently recruiting participants, but it aims to contribute valuable information about better pain management options for women undergoing this type of surgery.
