Spinal Anesthesia Drugs and Post-Surgery Shivering in Hernia Repair
This study compares two numbing medications (bupivacaine and prilocaine) used for spinal anesthesia during inguinal hernia surgery to see which one causes less shivering after the operation. You'll receive one of these two medications and be monitored for shivering and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin area) that needs surgical repair
- You are between 20 and 60 years old
- You are willing to receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medication injected near the spine)
- You do not have nerve, heart, or lung problems that are not well-controlled
- You have not had previous back surgery or active disc problems in your lower back
- You do not have a history of substance addiction or sensitivity to numbing medications

This study tests different amounts of numbing medication injected near nerves to reduce pain after inguinal hernia surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that provides the most pain relief with the fewest side effects.
This study tests two different medicines given through a vein to see which one works better at preventing shivering after spinal anesthesia for orthopedic (bone or joint) surgery. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia, and the goal is to find a more effective way to keep patients comfortable.
This trial tests a method to prevent shivering after lower abdominal or leg surgery done with spinal anesthesia. Shivering can be uncomfortable after surgery, and this study aims to find a way to reduce it.
This trial tests if adding a drug called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic can reduce shivering during and after a C-section. It may help keep you comfortable and warm.
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 study compares two different numbing techniques used during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. You'll use a patient-controlled pain pump to manage discomfort during recovery.
