How hip-shoulder width affects spinal anesthesia for hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the ratio of hip width to shoulder width affects how well spinal anesthesia works for adults having hernia surgery below the belly button. It may help doctors better predict anesthesia success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You are having a planned (not emergency) hernia surgery below the belly button using spinal anesthesia.
- You are in generally good health (ASA I or II).
- You are between 150 cm and 185 cm tall, and your BMI is 40 or less.
- You do not have any condition that prevents spinal anesthesia (like bleeding problems, spine deformity, or infection at the injection site).
- You have no allergy to amide-type numbing medicines (like lidocaine or bupivacaine).

This trial compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: a single injection or a continuous catheter. It aims to find out which method is safer and works better for heart function and recovery.
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 looks at a new way to predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia for hernia surgery. It may help doctors prevent dizziness or fainting during the procedure.
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 trial compares two positions for giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery to see which one works on only one side of the body. It may help patients get better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
