Comparing two blocks for pain after hernia repair
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (M-Tapa block and TAP block) to see which one works better for controlling pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
This study compares two types of pain blocks given during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks and use a patient-controlled pain pump to manage their pain.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. It aims to help patients have less pain and a smoother 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 ways to manage pain during laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery: spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) versus general anesthesia plus a nerve block (TAP block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
