Table 2 The VAS scores at rest and with movement in different groups.

From: The new serratus anterior plane block is more effective than the SPB block for early postoperative analgesia following modified radical mastectomy surgery

  1. Data are expressed as medians (percentiles: 25–75).
  2. SAP: new serratus anterior plane; SPB: Serratus anterior plane block; VAS: visual analog scale.
  3. *P < 0.001 for the SPB group versus the C group. #P < 0.001 for the SAP group versus the C group. ^P < 0.05 for the SPB group versus the SAP group.
