Which pain block works best for Kids' abdominal surgery?
NCT ID NCT07617545
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—external oblique intercostal plane block and erector spinae plane block—for controlling pain in children aged 6 to 12 undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Forty children will be enrolled, and their pain levels, heart rate, and blood pressure will be measured. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief during and after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nerve block (local anesthetic injection)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could give children more effective pain relief after abdominal surgery, reducing the need for stronger painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 children, so results may not apply to all kids or surgeries. Both blocks are already used in practice, so no major breakthrough is expected.
