}}</ref> It is dangerous to give infants general anesthesia, so the only possible pain relief is local nerve block, which is now recommended if a [[circumcision]] is to be done. These are of doubtful efficacy because of multiple nerve pathways in the [[penis]], so baby boys still kick and scream, making the Circumstraint still necessary if a [[circumcision]] is to be done.
