Comparing two types of nerve blocks for circumcision pain in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to numb the penis during circumcision surgery in children: a penile block and a pudendal block. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two ways of numbing the penis before circumcision in children. The goal is to see which method works better and causes less discomfort.
This trial compares two different numbing methods, a sacral block and a penile block, to see which provides better pain relief for children during and after circumcision surgery.
This study measures nerve locations in children having penile surgery to improve a numbing procedure called a pudendal nerve block. It aims to make the block safer and more effective for kids.
This study compares two different numbing methods for pain during circumcision in healthy boys aged 2–7. One method uses a block near the tailbone (sacral erector spinae plane block), the other uses a block near the penis (penile block). The goal is to find which provides better pain relief.
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 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.
