Comparing two nerve blocks for open hernia repair pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
