Which nerve block eases circumcision pain best? a Head-to-Head trial
NCT ID NCT06843070
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks—sacral erector spinae plane block and dorsal penile block—for controlling pain after circumcision in boys aged 7 to 12. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery. Pain will be measured using standard scales in the hospital and after discharge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nerve blocks (sacral erector spinae plane block and dorsal penile block)
- What this could lead to
- If one block proves better, it could improve pain control and recovery for children undergoing circumcision.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both blocks are already used, so major breakthroughs are unlikely.
