Women undergoing radical mastectomy were dIvided into Control group and SPB group. The postoperative acute pain was evaluated by numerical rating scale (NRS) and the effect of preventing chronic pain was assessed at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery by NRS.

Conditions

• Chronic Pain
• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	serratus plane block with local anesthetic	The high-frequency linear array ultrasound transducer (UST) was placed parallel to the cephalocaudal axis of the body in T4 levels on the side of the mid-axillary line, identifying latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior, through the thoracic artery to help to find the serratus anterior and 15 ml 0.25% ropivacaine was administered.
PROCEDURE	serratus plane block with saline	The high-frequency linear array ultrasound transducer (UST) was placed parallel to the cephalocaudal axis of the body in T4 levels on the side of the mid-axillary line, identifying latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior, through the thoracic artery to help to find the serratus anterior and 15 ml saline was administered.
