Liposomal Bupivacaine Vs Bupivacaine with Dexmedetomidine in an Erector Spinae Plane Block for Mastectomies in Cancer Patients: a Randomized Control Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: United States Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Perform a comparison of effective pain relief duration between liposomal bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine when added to bupivacaine in a block for mastectomy for cancer surgery.
