Pain relief methods after hypospadias repair in young boys
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child has no known allergies to numbing medications (local anesthetics)
- Your child has no bleeding disorders or conditions that prevent nerve blocks
- You can provide written permission for your child to participate

This trial compares two different numbing methods (caudal block and sacral erector spinae plane block) to see which pain control works better and is safer for children having hypospadias repair surgery.
This trial tests two ways to manage pain during and after surgery to fix hypospadias (a condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis). One method uses a shot of numbing medicine near the tailbone (caudal block) and the other uses local numbing medicine at the surgical site. The study helps find which approach works better for young children.
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 study tests whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
This study looks at whether a non-invasive tool called perfusion index can help doctors measure pain in children under 3 years old after hypospadias repair surgery. This could lead to better pain management for young children who cannot easily describe their pain.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (dorsal nerve block and caudal block) to see which works better for pain relief during and after hypospadias repair surgery in children. If your child is having this surgery, this study may help improve their comfort.
