Nerve block for pain after feeding tube surgery in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (EOI) given before surgery can reduce pain after a feeding tube procedure in children. It aims to help kids recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic gastrostomy (a feeding tube placed through a small belly incision) at Seoul National University Children's Hospital.

- Your child's vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) are stable.
- Your child is not allergic to ropivacaine (a numbing medicine) or opioids (strong pain relievers).
