Nerve blocks for chronic groin pain after hernia surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had groin pain for more than 12 weeks after hernia surgery.

- Your groin pain is not caused by another condition (such as infection or a gynecological problem).
- You are not pregnant, do not take blood thinners, and do not have a bleeding disorder or unstable psychiatric illness.

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.
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.
This study compares two methods of pain control after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (transversalis fascia plane block) versus injecting pain medicine into the surgical cut. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and reduces the need for additional pain medication.
This trial tests which nerve block works better for pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It compares a block in the lower back (quadratus lumborum) with a block in the groin area (combined groin nerves) to see which provides better pain relief.
