Pain relief blocks for children having laparoscopic surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic surgery in children to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. The blocks are done using ultrasound to guide the needle, and the goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for elective (non-emergency) laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
- Your child is in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- A parent or legal guardian must agree to the study and sign a consent form.
- The doctor must be able to see the injection site clearly with ultrasound.
- Your child has no allergies to the numbing medicine (bupivacaine) or ultrasound gel.
- Your child has no bleeding problems, no infection or previous surgery at the injection site, and is not expected to need intensive care after surgery.

This study compares two ultrasound-guided pain-block methods given before or after open abdominal surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It is an anesthetic technique that could reduce pain after the procedure.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) at the surgery site helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If effective, it could offer a simple way to improve comfort after your operation.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for controlling pain after weight-loss surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of these injections before surgery to help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.
This study compares two ways to control pain after laparoscopic stomach removal surgery: applying a special temperature-sensitive gel mixed with a numbing medicine to the surgical area, versus a standard ultrasound-guided nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the abdominal nerves). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief after surgery.
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
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.
