Recruiting studies
- NCT07604272RecruitingPhase 1
Sex Hormones to Shrink Inguinal Hernias in Older Men
This study tests whether hormone treatment can help shrink inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin) without surgery. Men 50 and older with a confirmed hernia may qualify to see if this approach works and is safe.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT05920200Recruiting
Study of hernia repair results by hernia location
This study looks at how different hernia repairs turn out depending on where the hernia is in the body. It uses existing medical records to understand which factors may influence recovery or outcomes after surgery.
Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad OblastAges 18–90 - NCT06885788Recruiting
Female Hernia Repair: Preserving vs Removing a Ligament
If you have an inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin area), this trial compares two ways to do laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repair: keeping the round ligament of the uterus versus removing it. The study will help doctors learn which way may lead to better outcomes for women like you.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07264699Recruiting
Guided nerve block for hernia repair pain control
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
Olsztyn, Warmisko-mazurskieAges 18–80 - NCT07473583Recruiting
Hernia surgery study on gas timing and blood changes
This study looks at how long the gas used during laparoscopic hernia surgery affects bicarbonate levels in the blood. It may help doctors understand how to better manage your body's chemistry during this type of hernia repair.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07755657Recruiting
Robotic single-port surgery for belly hernias
This study tests a robotic single-port technique to repair primary belly hernias in the midline. It may help patients with less scarring and possibly a quicker recovery.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07627425Enrolling by invitation
Staples vs. Sutures for Hernia Repair Mesh
This trial compares two methods of attaching mesh during hernia surgery—staples versus sutures—to see which leads to better healing and fewer problems after surgery. You'd have a 50/50 chance of receiving either method.
KarachiAges 18–75 - NCT06934564Recruiting
Cutting unnecessary tests before low-risk surgeries
This study helps surgical teams cut down on unnecessary tests before common low-risk surgeries, like breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, or hernia repair. It aims to improve patient care by reducing extra, unneeded procedures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07423910Recruiting
Numbing injections for better recovery after hernia surgery
This study looks at two types of numbing injections (TAP and RS blocks) to see which helps people recover better after groin hernia surgery. If you are having a planned single-side hernia repair, you might qualify to join.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT07442188Recruiting
Comparing two numbing blocks for hernia surgery pain
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before hernia surgery to see which one works better for pain after the operation. The blocks target muscles around the belly area to help you feel less pain and recover more comfortably.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06874413Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for frail older adults before hernia surgery
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before hernia repair surgery helps frail older adults recover better. The program includes physical exercises and breathing muscle training.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT02781870Recruiting
3D laparoscopic groin hernia repair with special mesh fix
This study looks at a laparoscopic (keyhole) operation to repair a groin (inguinal) hernia using a 3D “visible” mesh, with or without an added fixation method. If you have a first-time hernia on one side and are planning a laparoscopic repair, this trial may be an option to discuss with your surgical team.
GhentAges 18–80 - 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.
