Randomized Controlled TrialPost mastectomy pain syndrome after preoperative stellate ganglion block: a randomized controlled trial.
This study investigated the effect of preoperative ultrasound (US) guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) with bupivacaine on the frequency of post mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). ⋯ Following mastectomy with axillary dissection, preoperative US guided SGB is associated with less PMPS proportion, postoperative pain and opioid consumption and better patient daily activity and functional capacity.
