Nerve blocks for pain relief in children with cerebral palsy having leg surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether combining two types of nerve blocks (one in the back of the knee and one in the thigh) can better manage pain after lower leg surgery in children with cerebral palsy, compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Child has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy
- Child is scheduled for elective lower extremity surgery
- Child is otherwise healthy or has mild to moderate systemic disease (no severe health conditions)
