Hip and shoulder width effects on spinal anesthesia for hernia repair
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the width of your hips and shoulders affects how well spinal anesthesia works during hernia surgery. The goal is to improve pain control during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 50 years old.
- You are scheduled for hernia surgery below the belly button using spinal anesthesia.
- Your height must be between 150 cm and 185 cm, and your BMI must be 40 or less.
- You should not have conditions that make spinal anesthesia risky, such as bleeding problems, spinal deformities, or skin infections near the injection site.
- You should not have had a failed spinal block in the past or be allergic to numbing medicines.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: a single injection versus a continuous drip through a tiny tube. The goal is to see which method is safer and causes fewer side effects, such as drops in blood pressure, while keeping you comfortable during and after the operation.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (one side vs both sides) during hip replacement surgery to see how they affect blood pressure. It uses a special monitor to track blood pressure continuously, which may help improve safety for older patients.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medication in the back) for older adults having leg or hip surgery. It aims to see if adjusting the dose based on height works better than the standard fixed dose. If you are between 60 and 80 and having planned lower limb surgery, you may be eligible.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (midline vs. paramedian) using ultrasound guidance in adults having orthopedic surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
This study looks at how your position during spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) affects the dose of the numbing medicine (bupivacaine) needed and your blood pressure stability. It may help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
This study compares two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) used alongside spinal anesthesia to reduce pain after open groin hernia surgery. The goal is to find which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
