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.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 8 years old
- Your child is generally healthy (ASA status I or II)
- Your child is scheduled for a hernia surgery called PIRS
- Your child will receive either a rectus sheath block or a caudal epidural block for pain
- Your child does not have a bleeding disorder or history of easy bleeding

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 study compares two ways to give pain relief during and after lower abdominal surgery in young children: a medicine injected near the back (erector spinae plane block) versus a medicine given near the tailbone (caudal block). We want to see which method works better for controlling pain and reducing the need for extra pain medicine.
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.
