Effect of Oxybutynin on Opioid Use After Urologic Surgery in Children

Conditions: Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction, Hypospadias

Sex: All
Ages: N/A – 17 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE4
Enrollment: 200
Sponsor: University of Calgary

Location: Alberta Children's Hospital Calgary Alberta

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether giving oxybutynin before urologic reconstruction surgery reduces the amount of opioid pain medication needed in children. Oxybutynin is a medication that helps reduce bladder spasms, which can cause pain and discomfort after surgery. The main question this study aims to answer is: Does giving oxybutynin before surgery reduce the amount of opioid pain medication children need during the first 6 hours after surgery? Researchers will compare oxybutynin with a placebo (a tablet containing no active medication) to see whether oxybutynin reduces opioid use after surgery.
