Filter by:The aim of this clinical study is to demonstrate that pain following breast surgeries can be reduced through the application of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB). Seven patients scheduled for breast surgery were included in the study. The primary research question it seeks to address is as follows: • Can SPSIPB be applied to reduce pain following breast surgeries? Participants are expected to provide accurate responses to the researcher's questions for the assessment of postoperative pain.
Perioperative analgesia for surgery in carcinoma breast utilizes significant quantities of opioids as compared to cosmetic breast surgeries. Regional anesthesia reduces the need for perioperative opioids and thus may improve the outcome. The investigators decided to perform the modified pectoral nerve block ( Pec II) under vision after resection of tumor, without ultrasound and compare the postoperative analgesic and opioid sparing effects of the nerve block with ultrasound guided modified pectoral nerve block (Pec) in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
This trial is part of a larger, longitudinal study of symptoms that occur in the breast surgical scar area and/or ipsilateral arm following breast cancer surgery. Women who develop pain in the breast scar area or ipsilateral arm will be randomized to a placebo patch or a lidocaine patch that they will wear on a daily basis for 12 weeks. We hypothesize that women who wear the lidocaine patch will report a decrease in pain and decreased interference with function compared to women who wear the placebo patch.
