U.S., March 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06900842) titled 'Chronic Pain in Post-Mastectomy Patients; The Difference Between Pectoral Nerve (PECS I-II) and Erector Spinal Plane (ESP) Blocks' on March 22.
Brief Summary: This study looks at two types of injections (called PECS and ESP blocks) to see which one works better for reducing pain after breast cancer surgery (mastectomy).

We looked at how much pain they felt, how much pain medication they needed, and whether they still had pain months later.
