Caudal Pain Relief for Newborn Hernia Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and bupivacaine) given as a pain-relief injection during inguinal hernia repair surgery in newborns. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce pain and discomfort after surgery.

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 adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given through a caudal block (a shot near the tailbone) in children having hernia surgery. It looks at whether different amounts of dexmedetomidine can improve pain relief after surgery.
This trial tests if giving a combination of two medicines (dexamethasone and ondansetron) can better prevent nausea, vomiting, and shivering after hypospadias surgery in children receiving caudal anesthesia. It aims to improve comfort and recovery for young patients.
This trial looks at whether a medication called dexmedetomidine given near the lower back can better control pain after groin/scrotum surgery in young children. It may help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable if your child is eligible.
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 a standard spinal anesthetic (bupivacaine) with or without an added drug (dexmedetomidine) to see which works better for pain relief during planned cesarean delivery. It may help find a safer or more effective option for mothers.
