Opioid-Free pain block may be better for kids after surgery
NCT ID NCT06862271
First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 120 boys aged 4 months to 12 years having urogenital surgery. It compared an opioid-free caudal block (using bupivacaine) with an opioid-supplemented penile nerve block (using fentanyl) to see which provides better pain control and less post-surgery delirium. Researchers measured pain, agitation, and recovery times like walking and urination.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine (caudal block) and fentanyl (penile block)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that an opioid-free approach works as well or better for pain and delirium after pediatric urogenital surgery, potentially reducing opioid use in children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (120 children) comparing two existing techniques. Results may not apply to all hospitals or surgeries, and neither method is new—so no breakthrough is expected.
