About this study

paravertebral block is commonly used in the treatment for acute and chronic pain.The duration of paravertebral block could theoretically be prolonged with neurolytic agents. Dexmedetomidine ,an alfa-2 adrenoreceptor agonist, is being used and adjuvant capable of prolonging duration of sensory and motor block on nerve blocks.
