Comparing two pain blocks for children having lower belly surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (caudal block and quadratus lumborum block) for pain relief during and after lower abdominal surgery in young children. It will help find a better way to manage your child's pain and reduce discomfort after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 months and 6 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for lower abdominal surgery (surgery on the belly area below the belly button).
- Your child must not have a bleeding or clotting problem, an infection where the block would be given, or an allergy to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).
- Your child must be in good overall health (no severe heart, lung, or other serious conditions).
- You must give written permission for your child to join the study.

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.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (retrolaminar plane block and anterior quadratus lumborum block) given before surgery to help reduce pain in children undergoing urogenital operations. It aims to see which method provides better pain relief 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 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 compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used to manage pain after kidney surgery in children. Both blocks are given before surgery and aim to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers afterward.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
