Comparing two pain blocks for ventral hernia repair
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for open ventral hernia repair surgery under general anesthesia (you will be asleep).
- You have an ASA score of 1 or 2, meaning you are generally healthy or have mild controlled disease.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 34.9.
- You are not pregnant, have no known allergy to local anesthetics, and have no history of chronic pain medication use.
- You have not had spine surgery and can cooperate with medical care.

This study compares two types of pain blocks (numbing injections) after weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief after your operation.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (intertransverse process block and erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery using small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before hernia surgery to see which one works better for pain after the operation. The blocks target muscles around the belly area to help you feel less pain and recover more comfortably.
