About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Effectiveness of Pudendal Nerve Block vs Caudal Block for Hypospadias Surgery in Children

The aim of this prospective randomized study is to assess the analgesic efficacy and duration of Pudendal block compared with Caudal block for pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias surgery concerning intraoperative analgesic and also postoperative total analgesic consumption within 24 hours.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective study, patients will be randomized into 2 groups, either receiving Caudal Block(CB) or nerve stimulator-guided Pudendal Nerve Block(PNB). Analgesic consumption will be assessed during the first 24 hours postoperatively. The "CHEOPS pain scale" will use to assess postoperative pain.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative pain intensity measure

    pain scores are recorded (postoperative within 24 hours) the investigators use CHEOPS pain scale for evaluation pain intensity. When pain score is 7 or higher than 7, pain treatment is evaluated as inadequate.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. time to to first use of analgesic

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. parental satisfaction

    Parent satisfaction was scored as:

    1. definitely unsatisfied;
    2. satisfied;
    3. definitely satisfied.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. the incidence of side effects

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. intraoperative analgesic requirement

    intraoperative remifentanil infusion requirement ( If heart rate and/or blood pressure increase 20% than first measure, we will start remifentanil infusion)

    Measured: intraoperative

  5. postoperative total analgesic requirements

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing pudendal nerve block and caudal block in people with Pain, run by Istanbul University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative pain intensity measure (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02390388, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2015.
