Comparing two monitors for numbing medicine in children having lower belly surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of checking whether the numbing medicine (caudal block) is working well in children having lower belly surgery. It aims to help doctors monitor pain more accurately so kids get proper pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial checks if a simple monitor reading (peripheral perfusion index) can help doctors know if a numbing shot (caudal block) will work well for children having belly or pelvic surgery. It may lead to better pain control during and after surgery.
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 compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before surgery to see which one controls pain better in children after lower belly surgery. If your child qualifies, they may receive one of these blocks to help them be more comfortable after the operation.
This study compares two ways to give pain relief during and after lower abdominal surgery in young children: a medicine injected near the back (erector spinae plane block) versus a medicine given near the tailbone (caudal block). We want to see which method works better for controlling pain and reducing the need for extra pain medicine.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (caudal block and quadratus lumborum block) for pain relief during and after lower abdominal surgery in young children. It will help find a better way to manage your child's pain and reduce discomfort after surgery.
This trial compares two techniques for giving a caudal block (a numbing injection near the tailbone) to children having surgery. One method uses the usual way, and the other uses ultrasound imaging to guide the needle.
