Ultrasound Guided (USG) PECS Versus Local Infiltration Anaesthesia (LIA) for Breast Cancer Surgery - A Randomized Quadruple Blinded Efficacy and Safety Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating USG PECS2 with Drug A (active), USG PECS2 with Drug P (placebo), and 2 other interventions for Breast Cancer Female. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Breast cancer is the most common cancer for which women in the UK (United Kingdom) undergo surgery. A novel ultrasound guided regional anaesthetic technique called the 'Pecs 2' block has recently been described. This study compares ultrasound guided (USG) Pecs 2 block with local anaesthetic infiltration (LIA) for pain relief following breast cancer surgery.
