Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if pre-operative regional nerve blocks compared to a placebo nerve block can decrease chronic post mastectomy pain, immediate postoperative pain and postoperative narcotic consumption.

Primary Outcome

Severity of postoperative pain will be evaluated by the Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-SF). This form asks a series of 9 questions with ratings of pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as severe as you can imagine) and includes questions evaluating general activities of daily living. The study team will evaluate patient reported levels of pain at 8 hours. This series of questions will be administered in person during the inpatient stay and by telephone or in the clinic setting after discharge

Interventions

  • OTHER Placebo regional nerveblock with normal saline
