Which nerve block eases Kids' Post-Surgery pain best?
NCT ID NCT07147062
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—rectus sheath block and caudal epidural block—for pain relief in children aged 1 to 8 years undergoing hernia repair. Both blocks use the numbing medicine bupivacaine. Researchers will measure pain scores, nausea, and how quickly children can move after surgery. The goal is to find which block works better and reduces the need for opioids.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could mean less pain and fewer opioid side effects for children after hernia surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 65 children. Results may not apply to all kids or surgeries, and both blocks carry rare risks like infection or bleeding.
