Comparing two numbing blocks for hernia surgery pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a body size (BMI) that is normal or slightly overweight — between 18 and 30.
- You are scheduled to have a single-side groin hernia repair under general anesthesia in an operating room.
- You do not have a bleeding condition that would raise risk.
- You do not have an active infection where the block would be placed.
- Your overall health status (ASA class) is I, II, or III — meaning you are generally healthy or have well-controlled conditions.
