ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of pain relief for boys undergoing circumcision, a common surgical procedure. The focus is on comparing a technique that uses ultrasound to guide the injection of anesthetic, called the Reversed Ultrasound-Guided Dorsal Penile Nerve Block (RUSDPNB), with the traditional method that uses anatomical landmarks to find the right spot for the injection, known as DPNB. The goal is to see if the ultrasound method provides better pain relief and fewer complications after surgery.

Boys aged 0 to under 18 who are scheduled for circumcision may be eligible to participate. If you choose to join the study, you will receive information about it ahead of time, and consent can be signed up to the day of the surgery. On the day of the procedure, you will meet the anesthesia team who will explain everything again. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the ultrasound group or the control group, but only the medical team will know which method each participant receives. Throughout the process, researchers will monitor pain levels and any side effects, as well as how much pain medication is needed after the operation. Importantly, participating in the trial will not change how your child's surgery is performed.
