Nerve block vs placebo for hernia repair pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a nerve block injection (quadratus lumborum block) to a placebo (inactive injection) for pain control after open ventral hernia repair. The goal is to see if the block provides better pain relief and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are having open (not laparoscopic) surgery to repair a ventral hernia
- Your surgery is planned ahead (not an emergency)
- Your surgeon will place a mesh (a patch) behind the muscle layer
- Your wound is either clean or only slightly contaminated (not infected or dirty)
- You do not have any conditions that would make it unsafe to receive the study drug

This trial compares two nerve-block techniques (Quadratus Lumborum block vs. Transversalis Fascia block) to control pain after inguinal hernia surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
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.
This study compares two different pain-relieving nerve blocks given during open ventral hernia repair surgery. The blocks are injected near the abdominal wall muscles to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see which block works better.
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 study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after inguinal hernia repair. If you are having hernia surgery and are in good general health, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery. Researchers want to see which method works better and helps you recover more comfortably.
