Numbing methods for circumcision in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different numbing methods for pain during circumcision in healthy boys aged 2–7. One method uses a block near the tailbone (sacral erector spinae plane block), the other uses a block near the penis (penile block). The goal is to find which provides better pain relief.

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 two ways to manage pain during and after surgery to fix hypospadias (a condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis). One method uses a shot of numbing medicine near the tailbone (caudal block) and the other uses local numbing medicine at the surgical site. The study helps find which approach works better for young children.
