Nerve blocks for pain relief during hypospadias repair in children
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (dorsal nerve block and caudal block) to see which works better for pain relief during and after hypospadias repair surgery in children. If your child is having this surgery, this study may help improve their comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child must be between 2 and 12 years old.
- Your child should be in good general health (ASA I or II) – meaning no serious medical conditions.
- Your child cannot have asthma, kidney, liver, heart, or lung disease.
- Your child cannot have a known allergy to the study medicines (local anesthetics).
- You (the parent) must agree to the study and give permission for your child to take part.

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 trial tests two ways to manage pain during and after surgery to fix hypospadias (a condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis). One method uses a shot of numbing medicine near the tailbone (caudal block) and the other uses local numbing medicine at the surgical site. The study helps find which approach works better for young children.
This trial compares two different numbing methods (caudal block and sacral erector spinae plane block) to see which pain control works better and is safer for children having hypospadias repair surgery.
This study compares two ways to numb the lower belly and groin area for children having hypospadias repair. It tests if a newer injection method (sacral erector spinae block) works as well as the standard method (caudal block) to control pain during and after surgery.
This study tests whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a numbing shot (bupivacaine) helps children have less pain after surgery to fix hypospadias. The numbing shot is given near the penis before surgery starts.
