Mobile, AlabamaAges 21 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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.

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+ - 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 - NCT06879912Recruiting
Study of force feedback tools in robot-assisted surgery
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
Miami, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT07544238Recruiting
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Ventral Hernia Repair
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06850740Enrolling by invitation
Spinal ondansetron for hernia repair pain relief
This trial tests if adding ondansetron to standard spinal anesthesia during hernia surgery can provide better pain relief. It may help you need less pain medicine after the procedure.
IsmailiaAges 18–60 - 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 - NCT06871605Recruiting
Nerve blocks for chronic groin pain after hernia surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections near the nerves) to treat chronic groin pain after hernia surgery. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07056244Recruiting
Comparing two pain medicines for children’s hernia surgery
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief for children getting hernia surgery. The medicine is given through a shot in the lower back (caudal epidural block) to help keep your child comfortable during and after the operation.
SohagAges 2–6 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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.
KonyaAges 18–65 - 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.

- Are there clinical trials for inguinal hernia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 50 recruiting inguinal 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 inguinal 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 inguinal 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.
