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.

Summary

This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—TAP block and transversalis fascia plane block—for controlling pain after laparoscopic surgery in children aged 6 months to 16 years. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief, lasts longer, and reduces the need for extra pain medication. The results could help improve pain management for young surgical patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
local anesthetic (bupivacaine or similar, injected as nerve block)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could lead to more effective and longer-lasting pain relief for children after laparoscopic surgery, reducing the need for extra painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 36 children, so results may not apply to all patients. The blocks may not differ significantly, or complications like infection or nerve injury could occur.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will include pediatric patients aged 6 months to 16 years who are scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. All participants will be classified as ASA physical status I or II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. Patients with ASA III-IV status, known allergy to local anesthetic agents, bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorders, and infection at the injection site will be excluded. Eligible patients of both sexes will be enrolled, and healthy volunteers will not be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either an ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block or a transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia. The study aims to represent the typical pediatric population undergoing minimally invasive abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
