Numbing injections for better recovery after hernia surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at two types of numbing injections (TAP and RS blocks) to see which helps people recover better after groin hernia surgery. If you are having a planned single-side hernia repair, you might qualify to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) hernia repair on one side only, through a single cut in the groin.
- You do not have a hernia coming back or on both sides.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You can give written permission (informed consent) to be in the study.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections near the nerves) to treat chronic groin pain after hernia surgery. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief.
This study compares two methods of pain control after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (transversalis fascia plane block) versus injecting pain medicine into the surgical cut. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and reduces the need for additional pain medication.
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 different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair surgery. The goal is to determine which method works better to keep you comfortable during recovery.
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.
