Nerve blocks for pain after laparoscopic surgery in children
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and 16 years old
- Your child is scheduled for laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery
- Your child has a physical status of ASA I or II (generally healthy or with mild illness)
- Your child is not allergic to numbing medicines (local anesthetics)
- Your child does not have a bleeding disorder
- Your child has no skin infection or rash where the injection would be given

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (retrolaminar block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic surgery on the upper belly. If you are having this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
This study tests a special type of nerve block (called M-TAPA) to manage pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It aims to see if this block provides better pain relief than standard care.
