Exercise program for people with a large abdominal hernia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a structured exercise program for people with abdominal wall hernias. The goal is to see if these exercises can improve strength, mobility, and overall health, which may help you feel better and recover more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a hernia in your belly area that is at least 4 centimeters wide.
- You do not have severe physical or memory problems that would limit your ability to take part in an exercise program.
- You are willing to sign a form saying you agree to take part 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 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 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 6-week exercise program before and after hernia repair surgery helps you recover faster and get back to normal activities with less pain. It involves supervised exercises done at home with video calls.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
