Pediatric Circumcision clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Analgesia for Pediatric Circumcision : Comparison of the Effectiveness of Pudendal Nerve Block to Penile Nerve Block

Start date: January 17, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Medical or ritual circumcisions are frequent interventions in children. To provide the best comfort to the patients, the anesthetists use regional anesthesia. Complementary to general anesthesia, this method allows to lower the need of opioids during and after the surgery, as well as a faster recovery. The foreskin is innervated by the dorsal nerve of the penis which is the branch of the pudendal nerve. This nerve arises from the sacral plexus and more precisely the branches S2-3-4. There are two methods to block pudendal nerve. First, the pudendal nerve block is an old anesthetic technique developed in 1908, first for obstetrical analgesia and urological analgesia. It consists in injecting in the ischiorectal fossa, right at the end of Alcock's canal, a solution of local anesthetic. Second, the penile nerve block, described in the middle of the seventies, consists in injecting a solution of local anesthetic that blocks only the terminal part of the pudendal nerve. Those two nerve blocks have been subject to many publications, especially concerning the method to apply to optimize their efficiency. The literature review led to this conclusion: The penile nerve block should be ultrasound guided and the pudendal nerve block should be done with a neurostimulator. The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic efficiency of the ultra-sound guided penile nerve block to the pudendal nerve block with neurostimulation, for the pediatric circumcision.
