Postoperative Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Dexamethasone or Clonidine When Given as Adjuncts to Ropivacaine for Caudal Analgesia on Duration of Analgesia Compared to Placebo in Children
Comparing the duration of pain relief from caudal analgesia when adjuncts like dexamethasone, clonidine, or saline (salt water) are added to ropivacaine.
The local anesthetic, which is currently used for caudal analgesia, is called ropivacaine. It
works well and is safe in infants and children. Doctors commonly add small amounts of other
medication to ropivacaine to prolong the duration of pain relief provided by a single
injection of caudal analgesia.
In this study, the length of duration of pain relief the child receives from caudal analgesia
will be examined when different medications are added to ropivacaine. Specifically,
dexamethasone, clonidine, or saline (salt water) will be added to ropivicaine and the length
of time it takes before the child needs more pain medication will be determined.
Clonidine has been added to caudal analgesia for infants and children for many years. It
increases the duration of pain relieving effect of ropivicaine by itself, however, it may
lead to prolonged sedation following the surgical procedure (an undesired effect) and it is
expensive.
Dexamethasone has been used for adult epidurals and nerve blocks and in spine surgeries. It
prolongs the duration of pain relief and causes less sedation. It is commonly administered to
children during surgery to help decrease nausea and vomiting after surgery. It is also much
cheaper than clonidine.
