What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial compares two pain-relief techniques for children aged 1 to 7 undergoing orchiopexy (surgery to correct an undescended testicle). One method is a caudal block, a common injection near the tailbone; the other is an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block, a newer approach targeting nerves in the back. Researchers will measure pain scores, how long relief lasts, and any side effects during the first 24 hours after surgery to see if the newer block works as well or better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block
What this could lead to
If effective, this nerve block could offer a safer or more reliable way to manage pain in children after testicular surgery, potentially reducing the need for opioid painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison, so results may not apply broadly. Nerve blocks carry risks like infection, bleeding, or nerve damage, though serious complications are rare.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 1 to 7 years with ASA physical status I-II undergoing unilateral orchiopexy surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * ASA physical status ≥ III * History of prematurity (gestational age \< 37 weeks) Known coagulation disorders or bleeding tendency * Infection, inflammation, or skin lesion at the injection site * Known neurological or neuromuscular diseases * Presence of significant cardiac or pulmonary disease (e.g., congenital heart disease, active asthma) * Hepatic or renal dysfunction * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics (e.g., bupivacaine, lidocaine) * Developmental delay or cognitive impairment that prevents accurate pain assessment * Use of additional regional analgesia techniques (e.g., caudal block) during surgery * Block failure or intraoperative complications requiring exclusion from protocol analysis * Lack of parental consent for participation in the study
