Personalized physical therapy for recovery after hernia surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a personalized physical therapy program before and after hernia surgery can improve recovery and strengthen your core muscles. It aims to help you heal better and regain strength more quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a ventral hernia (a bulge in your belly area) that is larger than 4 cm but smaller than 10 cm.
- You are scheduled for surgery to repair the hernia (and it is your first time having this type of surgery).
- You are able to move around on your own without using a cane, walker, or other assistive device.
- You have not had physical therapy in the last 30 days and do not have a neurological disorder (like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a 4-week program of exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle support before ventral hernia surgery to help reduce complications. If you have a hernia smaller than 8 cm and at least one health risk factor, this might help you prepare for a safer recovery.
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 is testing a new way to treat and improve life with a ventral hernia (a hernia in the belly area). It's for people with an incisional hernia or a parastomal hernia.
This study compares minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for repairing ventral hernias, which are bulges in the belly area. The goal is to see which method leads to better outcomes, such as less pain and faster recovery.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
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.
