This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different nerve block techniques — the Thoracic Interfascial Plane Block and the Erector Spinae Plane Block — to see which one works better for managing pain after breast cancer surgery. Both techniques use ultrasound to precisely numb specific nerves in the chest area before your operation. The goal is to find out which approach helps patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
After breast cancer surgery, pain can be significant and often requires strong opioid medications that can cause side effects like nausea and constipation. This trial is looking for better, safer ways to control pain after surgery so that patients can recover faster and with fewer complications.

You will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two nerve block techniques before your mastectomy surgery. Before your operation, a doctor will use ultrasound to guide the placement of the nerve block to numb the surgical area. After surgery, your pain levels will be monitored at multiple time points using a simple pain scale, and researchers will track how much pain medication you need in the first 48 hours. You'll also be asked about your sleep quality, when you first get up and walk, and how satisfied you are with your pain control.
