Recruiting studies
- 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT07290881Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for hernia surgery pain relief
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (anterior iliac block and ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric block) to see which provides better pain relief after inguinal hernia surgery. If you are having this surgery, joining could help doctors understand the best way to manage your pain.
Şanliurfa, Hali̇li̇yeAges 18–65 - NCT07311902Recruiting
Comparing two blocks for pain after hernia repair
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (M-Tapa block and TAP block) to see which one works better for controlling pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07346742Recruiting
Preventing infection in children's groin surgery
This study tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein and using special stitches that fight germs can help prevent infections after open groin surgery in children. It may be helpful for children having routine groin surgery as a day procedure.
Ile-Ife, Osun StateAges Up to 15 years - NCT00260585Recruiting
Esophageal risk and tissue registry study
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02530073Recruiting
FETO procedure for babies with isolated left diaphragmatic hernia
This trial studies a fetal procedure (FETO) that temporarily blocks the baby’s windpipe to help lung growth before birth. It may help babies with severe lung underdevelopment from an isolated left diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who meet specific pregnancy and fetal criteria.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07395219Enrolling by invitation
Registry for patients having TIF2.0 or cTIF procedure
This registry gathers information on patients who undergo TIF2.0 or cTIF procedures to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By joining, you help doctors learn more about these procedures and their outcomes.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06957990Enrolling by invitation
Music therapy during hernia surgery to reduce pain medication
This study tests if listening to music therapy before and during hernia surgery can lower the need for strong painkillers (narcotics). It may help you manage pain with less medication.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06938542Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care needs for kids with rare diseases
This study asks children with rare diseases and their families about what kind of palliative care (comfort and support) they need. It aims to understand how to better help families through their child's illness.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hernia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 182 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.
