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.
