Pain shot vs epidural for hip surgery in kids with cerebral palsy
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a pain injection to epidural anesthesia for children with cerebral palsy having hip surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control during and after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Younger than 18 years old
- Diagnosed with cerebral palsy or a similar muscle/nerve condition
- Having hip surgery to correct a bone in the thigh (proximal femoral osteotomy)
- Not currently taking regular strong pain medicines (opioids)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for children having hip surgery. One uses a PENG block with LFCB, the other an ESP block; the goal is to see which provides better pain control.
This study tests a special nerve-blocking technique (PENG block) to manage pain during hip surgery in children ages 3–8. Researchers measure immune markers in the blood to understand how well this pain-relief method works and how it affects the body's healing response.
This trial tests whether a special nerve block called PLIA can lower pain right after hip-preserving surgery (PAO) for hip dysplasia. If you are a teen or young adult having this surgery, this study could help manage your pain better.
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and ketamine) given through a shot in the lower back to see which one works better for pain after hip surgery in young children.
This study tests if a special numbing shot around the hip joint (PENG block) gives better pain relief after hip replacement. It compares this shot plus standard pain medicine to standard medicine alone.
This trial tests two ways to give pain medicine around the hip joint during surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients experience less pain after hip replacement.
