Pain Relief Method for Children's Minimally Invasive Belly Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new pain-relief technique called M-TAPA for children ages 1–7 having small-incision belly surgery. Researchers want to see if this method helps reduce pain better than standard approaches after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 1 and 7 years old
- Child is in generally good health (ASA physical status I or II, meaning no serious medical conditions or only mild ones)
- Child is having planned laparoscopic abdominal surgery (small-incision belly surgery, not an emergency)
- No bleeding disorders or blood clotting problems
- No history of allergic reactions to numbing medications (local anesthetics)
- No rash, infection, or skin problems at the spot where the injection would go

This study tests whether two different numbing injections (M-TAPA and TAPB) placed before surgery can reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder removal, compared to standard care. If you qualify, the injections may help you feel less discomfort after the operation.
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after surgery above the belly button. It may help people who qualify have better or longer-lasting pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests if giving pain medicine in a different area of the abdomen can reduce pain after weight-loss surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable after your sleeve gastrectomy.
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
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 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.
