Pain Relief for Perineal Surgery in High-Risk Children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests pain-relief methods for children with serious health conditions who need surgery in the perineal area (around the genitals and anus). The goal is to find safe, effective ways to manage pain for kids whose bodies are at higher risk during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has serious health conditions that make surgery riskier (classified as ASA Class III or IV)
- Your child needs surgery on or around the perineal area (genitals, anus, or nearby regions)
- Your child's weight is typical for their age and sex (between 5th and 85th percentile)
- You and your child's caregivers agree to participate in the trial
- Your child has no active infection or blood-clotting disorder at the injection site
- Your child has no pre-existing nerve or brain disorders

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief for children aged 6 to 12 having chest surgery. The goal is to reduce pain after the operation.
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 three types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides the best pain relief for children after umbilical hernia repair. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to manage pain in young patients.
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 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 trial compares two types of pain blocks (rectus sheath block or caudal epidural block) used in children having a specific hernia surgery. It aims to see which block works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
