NCT ID NCT07197203

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—caudal block and sacral erector spinae plane block—both using a numbing medicine plus dexmedetomidine, to see which provides longer pain relief after hypospadias repair in boys aged 1-6. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce complications. Sixty-six children will take part.
