Measuring pain in young children after surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a non-invasive tool called perfusion index can help doctors measure pain in children under 3 years old after hypospadias repair surgery. This could lead to better pain management for young children who cannot easily describe their pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 3 years old.
- Your child is having hypospadias repair surgery.
- Your child is generally healthy (classified as ASA I or II).
- You are willing to give written consent for your child to participate.
- Your child has not been treated with sedatives or seizure medications.
- Your child has no behavioral issues or developmental delays.

This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
This study looks at how children and teens experience pain after surgery or during a bone marrow transplant. It aims to better understand acute pain, which is short-term pain that goes away as the body heals.
This study looks at how to better manage pain in newborn babies after surgery. It aims to improve comfort and recovery for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
This study looks at how to best manage pain in newborns who have just had surgery and are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to improve pain relief and comfort for these babies after their operation.
This study tests a long-acting pain medicine (EXPAREL) given during heart surgery to see how it works in young children. The goal is to help control pain after surgery with fewer side effects.
This trial checks if a simple monitor reading (peripheral perfusion index) can help doctors know if a numbing shot (caudal block) will work well for children having belly or pelvic surgery. It may lead to better pain control during and after surgery.
