Official title
Intraoperative Pectoral Block in Breast Reductions: Reduction in Pain Scores & Elimination of Narcotic Use
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
A reduction mammoplasty is a commonly performed procedure for patients with symptomatic macromastia. The procedure involves removing breast parenchyma for an overall reduction in breast size and to alleviate patient symptoms, such as back/neck pain, rashes in the inframammary fold, and bra strap indentation. It is well documented in the literature that this procedure has a statistically significant reduction in patient symptoms. Postoperatively, it has been within the norm to prescribe narcotics in order to alleviate post-procedural pain. Recently, however, the research realm has advocated a non-narcotic multimodal pain control (MMPC) approach to minimize narcotic usage. Narcotic use is associated with increased costs in the healthcare system due to reported heightened pain scores for extended duration, constipation, nausea, vomiting, opiate dependence among other factors associated with increased morbidity. The goal of this study is to determine if PECs II (pectoral block type II) block alone is non-inferior to the standard multimodal pain control with narcotics for postoperative pain reduction in breast reduction.
