New pain block study aims to ease Kids' surgery recovery
NCT ID NCT07619651
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to block pain after hypospadias surgery in children aged 6 months to 7 years. One method uses a sacral erector spinae plane block, the other a caudal epidural block. Researchers will measure pain scores, how much extra pain medicine is needed, and any complications over the first 24 hours 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
- bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If one block works better, it could improve pain control and reduce the need for extra pain medicine in children after this surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 children. Results may not apply to all patients, and both blocks carry rare risks like infection or nerve issues.
