Pain relief methods for kids having umbilical hernia surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares three types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides the best pain relief for children after umbilical hernia repair. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to manage pain in young patients.

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 numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during surgery to help reduce pain afterward in children having upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better to keep kids more comfortable after their operation.
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
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 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 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.
