Testing wound-care steps after ventral hernia surgery
This study looks at whether different post-surgery wound-care steps can reduce problems at the incision site after elective ventral hernia repair. If you qualify, you may receive a specific wound treatment plan chosen by the study team to see how it affects healing and infection rates.

Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05051254Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing in children with breathing muscle weakness
This study looks at how hard it is for children to breathe and how their breathing muscles work, using specific breathing-related tests. It may help doctors better understand breathing problems and choose care more effectively.

Repair of a stomach valve during sleeve weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether doing a specific repair near the stomach valve (the gastroesophageal junction) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help people with a loose valve. It is aimed at adults who have a particular endoscopy finding (Hill grade III) and choose this weight-loss surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT05421676Recruiting
Fetal airway procedure for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia
This trial studies a fetal procedure called FETO that places a small balloon in the baby’s windpipe to help the lungs grow in severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may help babies with very small lung development after birth, but you must meet specific pregnancy, genetic, and safety requirements.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 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 - NCT06102733Recruiting
Pelvic pain study for women and men
This trial is testing treatments for chronic pelvic pain, sacroiliac pain, groin pain, tailbone pain, and piriformis pain. It may help people with persistent pain in these areas find relief.
Surrey, British ColumbiaAges 20–99 - 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 - NCT06329817Recruiting
Regurgitation risk during intubation: semi-fowler vs supine
This trial compares two positions (semi-fowler and supine) during intubation to see which reduces regurgitation risk. It may help if you are an adult scheduled for intubation.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06664177Recruiting
Pain block comparison for hernia surgery
This trial compares two nerve-block techniques (Quadratus Lumborum block vs. Transversalis Fascia block) to control pain after inguinal hernia surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT06731855Recruiting
Recovery study: blood markers in newborns after intestine surgery
This study looks at blood markers in newborns after major stomach or intestine surgery. It aims to understand recovery and could help improve care for babies with similar conditions.
Liverpool, MerseysideAges Up to 5 days - 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 - NCT06762561Recruiting
Mesh reinforcement after open aneurysm repair
This study is looking back at patients who had open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a special mesh placed to prevent future hernias. Researchers want to see how well the mesh worked over time.
Villars-sur-GlâneAges 18 years+ - NCT06862609Recruiting
Pain relief block for inguinal hernia surgery
This study tests a nerve block called QIPB to reduce pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It is for adults having planned surgery on one side under general anesthesia.
KonyaAges 18–65 - NCT06865807Recruiting
Comparing stitches for emergency belly closure
This trial compares two different types of stitches used to close the belly after emergency abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which stitch leads to better healing and fewer complications.
Santa Cruz de TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT06926374Recruiting
Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06928545Recruiting
MagDI procedure registry for weight loss
This registry tracks people who have a MagDI procedure, a type of weight-loss surgery that connects parts of the intestine. It helps doctors learn how well the procedure works over time.
Ventura, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06996561RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
How your genes affect pain relief after surgery
This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–70 - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
EskilstunaAges 18 years+ - NCT07062497RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clonidine in nerve block for umbilical hernia repair
This trial tests if adding clonidine to a numbing injection (nerve block) improves pain control after outpatient umbilical hernia repair. It aims to reduce the need for pain medicines and enhance recovery.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–65 - NCT07184554Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic back pain from disc herniation
This study tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) can help relieve chronic low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc at L4-L5 or L5-S1, when other treatments have not worked.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT07187206RecruitingPhase 3
Fetoscopic surgery for severe diaphragmatic hernia
This trial tests if a special surgery (FETO) done while the baby is still in the womb can improve survival for babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The surgery places a small balloon in the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow. We are looking for pregnant women whose baby has a left-sided CDH with a lung-to-head ratio (LHR) less than 30%, or a right-sided CDH with LHR less than 45%, and whose liver is herniated into the chest.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 179 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.
