New study aims to find best pain relief for kids after circumcision
NCT ID NCT07191938
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to numb the area for pain relief after circumcision in children: an ultrasound-guided penile block and a nerve-stimulation-guided pudendal block. Researchers want to see if the ultrasound method works just as well. About 240 children will take part to measure pain levels, block success, and recovery time.
