This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief for children getting hernia surgery. The medicine is given through a shot in the lower back (caudal epidural block) to help keep your child comfortable during and after the operation.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the pain-numbing drug used during a caudal block (an injection near the tailbone) provides better pain relief after hernia surgery in young children. It aims to find the best dose for longer-lasting comfort with fewer side effects.
This study tests a medicine given near the spine to see if it helps children feel less pain after groin surgery. It may help your child recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether giving a steroid medication (dexamethasone) before spinal anesthesia can reduce uncomfortable side effects like nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to help you feel better during and after your surgery.
This study compares two types of pain relief given during a C-section: one uses morphine alone, and the other combines morphine with a steroid called dexamethasone. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain relief after the surgery.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
