Measuring the pudendal nerve block in children having penile surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study measures the exact location of the pudendal nerve (a nerve in the pelvic area) in children during penile surgery, to make nerve blocks safer and more effective. If your child is having penile surgery, they may be eligible to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children between 1 and 18 years old.
- Planned for penile surgery (for example, hypospadias or phimosis).
- Will receive a pudendal nerve block (numbing injection near the pelvic area) guided by nerve stimulation.
- Child and parents/guardians agree to participate, with the procedure done under general anesthesia.
- No pelvic deformities or nerve-muscle disorders.

This trial looks at two different ways to give numbing medicine for children having circumcision surgery. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief during and after the procedure, helping your child be more comfortable.
This study measures how much of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) stays in the blood after a nerve block is given during your child's hernia surgery. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are given—doctors just watch and record levels to help improve safety.
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.
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 study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation through the pudendal nerve (a nerve in the pelvic area) can help improve bladder and bowel control in children who have tethered cord syndrome and continue having urinary problems after surgery. It aims to see if this treatment can improve their quality of life.
This trial tests a nerve block (an injection to numb a specific area) combined with general anesthesia during surgery. It may help children recover with less pain and fewer side effects from strong pain medicines.
