Penile block versus pudendal block for circumcision pain in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after circumcision (posthectomy) in children. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief during and after surgery, helping children recover more comfortably at home.
