Epidural pain block for children's lower body surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having surgery on the lower belly, genitals, urinary tract, or legs.
- Your child's health is good or has only a mild illness (doctors call this ASA 1 or 2).
- Your child does not have a muscle or nerve disease (like muscular dystrophy).
- Your child does not have cerebral palsy or a significant intellectual disability.

This study compares two types of pain relief (a spine block versus a tailbone block) for children ages 1-8 having lower abdominal surgery. The goal is to see which works better for pain after surgery.
This study tests two devices that measure blood flow to see how well they detect pain relief from a caudal block in children having lower belly surgery. This could help doctors give better pain control during and after surgery.
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.
This study compares two types of numbing shots (caudal block and quadratus lumborum block) for children having lower belly surgery to see which one controls pain better. Your child would be in one of two groups and pain levels would be watched closely.
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 trial tests pain-relief methods for children with serious health conditions who need surgery in the perineal area (around the genitals and anus). The goal is to find safe, effective ways to manage pain for kids whose bodies are at higher risk during surgery.
