Chronic sternal pain relief after a pecto-intercostal fascial plane block: A case report
This is a novel case where a patient with chronic sternal pain which worsened after bilateral mastectomy received a pecto-intercostal fascial plane block and had almost complete pain relief for over a three month period. Additional research is needed to further establish this procedure and its efficacy in managing patients in an outpatient setting with chronic sternal pain.
