Pain relief after hernia surgery in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (rectus sheath block or caudal epidural block) used in children having a specific hernia surgery. It aims to see which block works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
