Exercise program for people with large belly hernia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special exercise program for people with a medium to large ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall). The goal is to see if the program improves your strength, mobility, and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a ventral hernia (a bulge in your belly wall) that is at least 4 centimeters (about 1.5 inches) wide.
- You do not have a severe physical or mental impairment that would make it hard to exercise or do daily tasks.
- You are willing to sign a form saying you understand and agree to be in the study.

This trial studies whether losing weight before open abdominal wall hernia repair is safe and helpful for recovery. It may help your surgeon plan the operation more effectively, especially when a complex technique (with mesh and muscle release) is expected.
This study tests whether guided “core” muscle training after abdominal surgery can lower the chance of developing an incisional hernia and reduce pain. You may be eligible if you’re having abdominal surgery and can safely do the study exercise plan.
This study focuses on improving surgical treatment for belly wall hernias that develop after surgery (postoperative ventral hernias) in the middle or side areas. To see if you fit, the hernia size is checked with a CT scan.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before hernia repair surgery helps frail older adults recover better. The program includes physical exercises and breathing muscle training.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing large ventral hernias (a bulge in the belly wall). It aims to see which mesh placement method leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
