Comparing two pain blocks for children having belly surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain relief (a spine block versus a tailbone block) for children ages 1-8 having lower abdominal surgery. The goal is to see which works better for pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 8 years old.
- They must be scheduled for lower belly surgery (like hernia or appendix surgery).
- Your child should be in good health overall (no major heart, lung, or bleeding problems).
- No infection or skin problem near the back or spine area where the block would be given.

This study compares two pain-relief techniques (erector spinae plane block vs. caudal block) in children aged 1 to 7 years undergoing orchiopexy (surgery for an undescended testicle). The goal is to see which method provides better pain control after surgery. Your child must be generally healthy and meet specific criteria to participate.
This study compares two ways to numb the lower belly and groin area for children having hypospadias repair. It tests if a newer injection method (sacral erector spinae block) works as well as the standard method (caudal block) to control pain during and after surgery.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during surgery to help reduce pain afterward in children having upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better to keep kids more comfortable after their operation.
This study tests two devices that measure blood flow to see how well they detect pain relief from a caudal block in children having lower belly surgery. This could help doctors give better pain control during and after surgery.
This study compares two types of pain blocks—one given near the belly muscles and one near the tailbone—to see which works better for children having orchiopexy surgery. The goal is to help your child have less pain after the operation.
This study tests a numbing injection (caudal epidural block) to improve pain relief during children's lower body surgeries. It is for children who are generally healthy (ASA 1–2) and having certain procedures.
