    The study compared the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine in thoracic paravertebral blockade and intercostal nerve blockade for postoperative pain management.

  • 2

    Sixty elective surgery patients were randomized to receive either TPVB or INB, with no significant differences in postoperative pain scores observed.

  • 3

    Both techniques resulted in low pain scores throughout the 72-hour postoperative period, with no significant differences in opioid consumption or rescue analgesia.

  • 4

    Long-term assessments showed no significant differences in chronic pain scores between the two groups at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

  • 5

    The trial did not establish equivalence between TPVB and INB, and the absolute analgesic efficacy of each technique remains undetermined.
