Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
One potential side effect from caudal injections is temporarily decreased motor power in the legs due to the local anaesthetic - it is thought that this might be overcome using a more dilute solution of local anaesthetic along with clonidine. This study is to demonstrate that this method is as effective as the use of a regional nerve block.
