NCT03931850

Brief Summary

This study aim to compare efficacy of transperineal pudendal nerve block between 2 techniques, by dual guidance (ultrasound and neurostimulation) vs by ultrasound-guided only, in pediatric patients who undergo circumcision. Primary outcome : Block efficacy will be assessed from ratio of patients who receive opioids in immediate postoperative period. Secondary outcomes :

  • This study also measure other aspects of pain which can reflect the block efficacy including pain score in 24 hours, postoperative analgesic requirement in 24 hours, time to first analgesia, block success rate.
  • Block performance : imaging time, needling time, total performance time,
  • Block safety : collect complications from block including vascular/rectal puncture, bleeding (hematoma), local anesthetic systemic toxicity, voiding difficulty
  • Parental satisfaction will be also collected which scoring use 1-5 metric.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the proportion of patients who need opioids in recovery room

    the proportion of patients who need opioids in recovery room in each group

    1 hour (in recovery room)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Block success rate

    Intraoperation

  • Postoperative analgesic requirement in 24 hours

    24 hours postoperation

  • Time to first analgesic medication

    24 hours after operation

  • Pain score will be assessed by Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability scale (FLACCs)

    6 hours after arriving the ward

  • Parents' Postoperative Pain Measure-Short Form (PPPM-SF)

    6 hours after arriving the ward untill 24 hours after operation

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Dual guidance (ultrasound and neurostimulation)

EXPERIMENTAL

This arm : patients will be received pudendal nerve block by dual guidance technique ( ultrasound and neurostimulation)

Procedure: Pudendal nerve block

ultrasound-guided only

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This arm : patients will be received pudendal nerve block by ultrasound-guided only.

Procedure: Pudendal nerve block

Interventions

Pudendal nerve block is the one of peripheral nerve block. Injection local anesthetic medication around this nerve can provide analgesia around perineal area.

Dual guidance (ultrasound and neurostimulation)ultrasound-guided only
