Preventing nausea and shivering in children after hypospadias surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving dexamethasone with ondansetron before surgery can better prevent nausea, vomiting, and shivering in children receiving a caudal block for hypospadias repair. It aims to see if this combination is safer and more effective than standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 2 and 12 years old.
- The child is having surgery in the lower belly or groin area, given a caudal block (pain medicine injected near the tailbone).
- Child's vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) are stable, and routine lab tests are normal.
- No heart disease, diabetes, seizures, or known allergies to the study drugs.
- No conditions that prevent a caudal block, such as bleeding problems, increased pressure in the brain, or skin infection near the injection site.

This study tests two ways of giving a sedative medicine to children having surgery on the lower belly or groin. Both are given as injections, one into a vein and one into the lower back area, to see which works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the pain-numbing drug used during a caudal block (an injection near the tailbone) provides better pain relief after hernia surgery in young children. It aims to find the best dose for longer-lasting comfort with fewer side effects.
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 compares two versions of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given as a penile block to see if adding another medicine (dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief after hypospadias repair in children. The goal is to improve comfort during recovery.
This study compares two types of pain-relief injections given during surgery for hypospadias repair in young children. The goal is to see which one works better for reducing pain after the operation.
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.
