ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at different methods to help manage pain after breast surgery. Specifically, it will compare three techniques that use ultrasound to guide injections in the chest area: the Pectoral nerve block, the Erector Spinae Plane block, and the Serratus Anterior Plane block. The goal is to see which method works best for controlling pain after surgery, helping women recover more comfortably.

To participate in this study, women aged 21 to 65 who are in good health (ASA physical status I or II) and scheduled for breast surgery under general anesthesia may be eligible. However, some individuals may not qualify if they have certain health issues, such as a high body weight (BMI over 35), specific drug sensitivities, or any conditions that could complicate the procedure, like skin infections or neurological disorders. If you decide to join the trial, you can expect to receive one of the pain management techniques during your surgery, and your recovery will be closely monitored to assess how well it works.
