Numbing blocks for pain relief after children's belly surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before surgery to see which one controls pain better in children after lower belly surgery. If your child qualifies, they may receive one of these blocks to help them be more comfortable after the operation.
AlexandriaAges 2–7 - NCT06063577Recruiting
A study to see if a special stitch can prevent hernia after belly surgery
This trial tests whether using a special type of suture (called Stratafix Symmetric) during surgery can help prevent an incisional hernia from forming after abdominal or gastrointestinal cancer surgery. If you are having certain types of major abdominal surgery, this study might be an option for you at the West Michigan Cancer Center.
Kalamazoo, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05771688Recruiting
Balloon procedure for severe left lung birth defect
This trial studies a fetal procedure where doctors place a small balloon to help a severe left-sided lung birth defect (CDH) develop better. It aims to improve baby outcomes by temporarily blocking the airway in the womb, starting in a specific week range of pregnancy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07850934Recruiting
Melatonin for high blood pressure in the lungs of newborns
This trial tests whether giving melatonin to full-term newborns with high blood pressure in their lungs (pulmonary hypertension) can help improve their breathing and oxygen levels. It may offer a new treatment option for babies with this condition.
Cairo, AbbassiaAges Any age - NCT07809620Recruiting
Acid reflux surgery: Who is likely to feel better?
This study looks at patients who are planning to have surgery for severe acid reflux (called fundoplication). It aims to find out which patients are most likely to see their symptoms improve after the operation, so doctors can better choose who will benefit.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05939687RecruitingPhase 3
Mesh placement to help prevent complications after bowel surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing a protective mesh during stoma closure can lower the risk of complications after low anterior resection surgery. It may help people heal more safely and reduce stoma-related problems.
MoscowAges 18–85 - NCT07744230Enrolling by invitation
Preventing hernias after liver transplant with a mesh
This study tests whether placing a special mesh during a liver transplant can prevent hernias from forming later. It is for patients who have certain risk factors that make hernias more likely.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT07695935Recruiting
Pain relief after hernia repair: nerve block vs low-dose morphine
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (injection near the abdominal muscles) versus a low-dose painkiller (morphine) given through the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method provides better relief with fewer side effects.
ÇorumAges 18–80 - NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07615036Recruiting
Natural Opening Specimen Removal in Colon Surgery
This study tracks a newer surgical technique where the removed colon or rectum is pulled out through the body's natural opening (like the anus or mouth) instead of through a larger cut in the belly. Researchers want to understand how safe and effective this approach is compared to traditional methods.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07591207Recruiting
Pain relief patch after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07591233Recruiting
Pain Relief Injection During Laparoscopic Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06195332Recruiting
Comparing two hernia repair methods (open vs. camera-assisted)
This study compares two ways to fix a hernia that appears after a previous belly surgery: one uses a larger cut (open surgery) and the other uses smaller cuts and a camera. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery.
MoscowAges 18–90 - NCT07527065Enrolling by invitation
Pain Relief Methods for Hernia Surgery Recovery
This study compares two different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair surgery. The goal is to determine which method works better to keep you comfortable during recovery.
ÇorumAges 18–65 - NCT06752252Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after hernia repair in children
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (paravertebral and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after hernia surgery in children. The goal is to help children feel more comfortable after their operation.
El SharkiaAges 2–12 - NCT07473687Recruiting
Monitoring vital signs without touching in the operating room
This study uses a camera to monitor your heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels without any sensors touching your skin. It may help make surgery safer and more comfortable.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06102733Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 183 recruiting hernia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hernia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hernia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
