Recruiting studies
- NCT07755696Recruiting
Robotic repair for two hernias at once
This study tests the use of a robotic device to fix two hernias at once—one in the groin and one near the belly button. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who need both hernias repaired.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06650878Recruiting
Desarda vs Lichtenstein hernia repair comparison
This trial compares two surgical techniques for repairing a first-time inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin). Both methods aim to fix the hernia with a mesh, but the Desarda technique uses a piece of your own abdominal muscle, while the Lichtenstein technique uses a synthetic mesh. The study will see which approach leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06451432Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs. open hernia repair in children
This trial compares two ways to repair a hernia in children: laparoscopic surgery (using a small camera) and open surgery (a traditional cut). It aims to see which is more effective and cost-effective.
Veldhoven, North BrabantAges birth–16 years - NCT07618884Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgical repair for inguinal hernia
This trial tests a newer surgical technique called TREPP to repair inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin area). The approach may reduce pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07181876Recruiting
Study of robotic hernia repair with Dexter system
This study tests a robotic system for fixing groin hernias (inguinal hernias) using small incisions. It is for adults scheduled for hernia repair surgery who want to see how well the robot helps.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT07461558Recruiting
Watchful waiting vs fixing a hidden hernia found during surgery
This study compares two approaches for people who have a hidden hernia on the opposite side during groin hernia repair. One option is to watch and wait, and the other is to fix it right away.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07328698Recruiting
Ozonated oil dressing after hernia surgery pilot
This study tests whether a special oil dressing (ozonated oil) can help heal the surgical wound better after open inguinal hernia repair. It compares the oil dressing to a standard dressing to see if it reduces pain, infection, or other complications.
Niğde, Niğde ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT07161375Recruiting
Using heat camera to predict nerve block success in child hernia surgery
This study tests if a special heat-sensing camera can predict whether a nerve block will work for children having hernia surgery. If successful, this could help doctors know right away if the block is effective.
CairoAges 3 months–6 years - 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+ - 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 - NCT05867134Recruiting
Activity limits after one-sided groin hernia surgery
This trial studies how restricting or allowing activities after surgery for a one-sided inguinal hernia affects recovery and outcomes. It may help determine the safest activity plan while you heal.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT03904888Recruiting
Robot vs standard keyhole surgery for double groin hernia
This study compares two ways of doing keyhole surgery for hernias in the groin: the usual laparoscopic approach versus a robot-assisted approach. It may help show which method is safer or more effective for people with hernias on both sides.
GhentAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for inguinal hernia unilateral?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting inguinal hernia unilateral 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 inguinal hernia unilateral 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 inguinal hernia unilateral 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.
