Comparison between ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block and paravertebral block on acute and chronic post mastectomy pain after modified radical mastectomy: randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inadequate acute postoperative pain management is linked to the effect on the stress response and development of chronic pain. A unique regional anaesthetic method that is becoming more important for postoperative pain management is erector spinea plane block (ESP). Since its initial description, physicians have questioned weather this novel easy method can take the place of paravertebral block (PVB). Our goal was to evaluate, in contrast to control group, the effects of ESP & PVB on acute and chronic post-mastectomy pain.

Methods

One hundred and five female patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy participated in this study, randomly allocated into three equal groups: erector spinae plane block (ESP), thoracic paravertebral (TPV), and control groups. Both
