Nerve blocks for pain after hernia repair in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (paravertebral and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after hernia surgery in children. The goal is to help children feel more comfortable after their operation.

This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before surgery to see which one controls pain better in children after lower belly surgery. If your child qualifies, they may receive one of these blocks to help them be more comfortable after the operation.
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (rectus sheath block or caudal epidural block) used in children having a specific hernia surgery. It aims to see which block works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This study compares two types of pain-numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hernia repair surgery to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. If you are having this surgery, the trial aims to reduce your pain and improve your recovery.
This study compares two ways of numbing pain after open hernia surgery: a nerve block or injecting pain medicine into the surgical cut. Participants will be in spinal anesthesia and will receive one of these methods to see which provides better pain relief.
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.
