Nerve block versus placebo for pain after open hernia repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a nerve block called a quadratus lumborum block to a placebo (no active drug) for pain relief after open ventral hernia repair. It aims to see if this block improves pain control after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your ventral hernia repair is planned as an open incision (not laparoscopic) and is elective (not an emergency).
- Your surgery is considered 'clean' or 'clean-contaminated' — meaning there is no active infection at the surgical site.
- You will have mesh placed in the retromuscular position, which is behind the abdominal muscles.

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 compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of pain-numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hernia repair surgery to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. If you are having this surgery, the trial aims to reduce your pain and improve your recovery.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to find which one provides better pain relief after inguinal hernia surgery. The goal is to help you have less pain after the operation, so you may need fewer pain medications.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (pain-relieving injections) given during open ventral hernia repair surgery to see which one provides better pain control. It may help you have less pain after surgery and need fewer pain medications.
This study compares two ways of numbing pain after open hernia surgery: a nerve block or injecting pain medicine into the surgical cut. Participants will be in spinal anesthesia and will receive one of these methods to see which provides better pain relief.
