Preventing nausea and shivering after hypospadias surgery in children
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving a combination of two medicines (dexamethasone and ondansetron) can better prevent nausea, vomiting, and shivering after hypospadias surgery in children receiving caudal anesthesia. It aims to improve comfort and recovery for young patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 12 years old.
- Your child has stable vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) and normal lab tests.
- Your child needs surgery below the belly button (infraumbilical) and receives caudal anesthesia (an injection near the tailbone).
- Your child does not have heart problems, diabetes, seizures, or allergies to any of the study medicines.
- Your child does not have conditions that prevent caudal anesthesia, such as bleeding issues, infections near the spine, or certain spine abnormalities.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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.
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.
This trial tests a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and bupivacaine) given as a pain-relief injection during inguinal hernia repair surgery in newborns. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce pain and discomfort after surgery.
