Trial summary

The caudal block is the most common technique for inguinal surgery. Increased use of ultrasound in regional analgesia techniques has been improved the practise of the peripheral nerve blocks. Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks are possible to alternative methods to the central blocks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Caudal Block and Ultrasound Guided Ilioinguinal/Iliohypogastric Block for Bilateral Inguinal Surgery in Pediatric Patient: A Prospective Randomized Trial

The caudal block is the most common technique for inguinal surgery. Increased use of ultrasound in regional analgesia techniques has been improved the practise of the peripheral nerve blocks. Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks are possible to alternative methods to the central blocks. The aim of this study is to compare analgesic efficiency of caudal block and ultrasound guided Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks for bilateral inguinal hernia in pediatric patients

Read the detailed description

In this prospective randomized study, pediatric patients between 1- 10 years old who were scheduled to bilateral inguinal hernia surgery wil be enrolled the study. The patients wil randomly assign to receive an ultrasound-guided Ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block group or caudal block group Ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block was performed with 2 mg/kg bupivacaine as 0.25 % and total volum wil be divided equally for each side, Caudal block wil performe with bupivacaine 2 mg/kg as 0.2%. Supplemental analgesia will consist of as requred intraoperative remifentanyl, for recovery unit rescue tramadol, as requred at home ibuprofen. Patients wil be evaluated in the recovery unit for analgesia with FLACC pain scale, analgesic requirement, complications and parental satisfaction. Parents will be also called for analgesia and satisfaction after discharge of the patients in first 24 hours. The evaluation will be performed by a researcher whom does not know which participants belong to the caudal or ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block group

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inguinal hernia surgery in people with Surgery, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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?

Analgesic requirements (time frame: up to 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Nov 2017.
