To compare the analgesic efficacy of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to levobupivacaine in erector spinae plane block in modified radical mastectomy surgery for acute and chronic pain management.
3 groups. Group (C) / (I):20 patient (control group) : Patients will receive 20 ml 0.25% levobupivacaine into the interfascial plane below erector spinae muscle at level of T5. Group (D)/ (II) :20 patient (Dexmetonidine group) : Patient will receive 20ml 0.25% levobupivacaineas above + 1μ/kg dexmedetomidine. Group (M) / (III) : 20 patient (magnesium slphate group) : Patient will receive 20ml 0.25% levobupivacaineas above + 0.7 mg/kg MgSo4 . The patient, the anesthesiologist who administered the drugs, and the data collector will be blinded to the study drugs.
