Comparing two pain blocks for children having testicle surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two pain-relief techniques (erector spinae plane block vs. caudal block) in children aged 1 to 7 years undergoing orchiopexy (surgery for an undescended testicle). The goal is to see which method provides better pain control after surgery. Your child must be generally healthy and meet specific criteria to participate.

This trial looks at two different ways to give numbing medicine for children having circumcision surgery. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief during and after the procedure, helping your child be more comfortable.
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 ways to block pain after testicle-fixing surgery in young children. Your child will get general anesthesia, and then receive either a numbing injection near the belly or one near the tailbone to see which provides better pain relief.
This study compares two different numbing injections (caudal block vs retrolaminar block) given before surgery to see which one provides better pain control for children aged 1-7 undergoing undescended testis surgery.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (retrolaminar plane block and anterior quadratus lumborum block) given before surgery to help reduce pain in children undergoing urogenital operations. It aims to see which method provides better pain relief after the operation.
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.
