ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how different types of anesthesia used during breast cancer surgery (mastectomy) affect patients’ sleep quality after the operation. Specifically, it looks at whether adding a regional nerve block—a type of targeted pain relief given before surgery—to general anesthesia helps improve how well patients sleep while they recover. The study will also explore how sleep quality relates to pain levels, overall satisfaction with care, and feelings of anxiety or depression after surgery.
Women aged 18 and older who are scheduled for a planned mastectomy and are expected to stay in the hospital for at least one night may be eligible to join. Participants will be asked to complete simple sleep questionnaires and share how they feel about their pain and mood during recovery. This study aims to help doctors understand if certain anesthesia methods can support better rest and recovery after breast surgery, which may improve patients’ overall experience and healing.
