Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after hernia surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests which nerve block works better for pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It compares a block in the lower back (quadratus lumborum) with a block in the groin area (combined groin nerves) to see which provides better pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned open hernia repair on one side of your groin.
- You will receive spinal anesthesia for the surgery.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that would make nerve blocks risky.
- You have not used strong painkillers (opioids) daily for more than 2 weeks or have a chronic pain condition.
