Comparing two numbing blocks for hypospadias repair in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
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.
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 whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
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.
