Blood flow measurement during caudal epidural in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a way to measure blood flow and pain relief during a type of numbing injection (caudal epidural) in children having surgery on their lower body. It looks at how well this measurement works to guide the anesthesia and improve comfort after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 2 and 10 years old
- Child is in good general health (classified as ASA I or II)
- Surgery is planned for the lower belly, pelvic area, genital area, or legs
- No nerve disorders, bleeding problems, or spine deformities
- No infection at the injection site and no allergy to the numbing medicine

This study tests a numbing injection (caudal epidural block) to improve pain relief during children's lower body surgeries. It is for children who are generally healthy (ASA 1–2) and having certain procedures.
This study compares two ways to give pain relief during and after lower abdominal surgery in young children: a medicine injected near the back (erector spinae plane block) versus a medicine given near the tailbone (caudal block). We want to see which method works better for controlling pain and reducing the need for extra pain medicine.
This study compares two ways of checking whether the numbing medicine (caudal block) is working well in children having lower belly surgery. It aims to help doctors monitor pain more accurately so kids get proper pain relief.
This study looks at how a type of labor pain relief (combined spinal-epidural) affects blood flow in the mother and baby's main arteries. It may help doctors understand if this common pain relief method is safe for all labors.
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.
This study compares two pain-relief techniques (erector spinae plane block vs. caudal block) in children aged 1 to 7 years undergoing orchiopexy (surgery for an undescended testicle). The goal is to see which method provides better pain control after surgery. Your child must be generally healthy and meet specific criteria to participate.
