About this trial

In 230 patients undergoing mastectomy, the investigators will compare opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) versus conventional opioid-based anesthesia in terms of chronic pain. The enrolled patients will be randomly assigned into two groups with 1:1 ratio. Chronic pain will be evaluated at 1 year after mastectomy based on the Breast Cancer Pain Questionnaire (BCPQ). Baseline pain sensitivity test and psychologic evaluation will be done before operation.
