Comparing two numbing medicines for shivering after hernia repair
This study compares two numbing medicines (bupivacaine and prilocaine) given as a spinal block to see which one causes less post-surgery shivering after inguinal hernia repair, which is surgery to fix a bulge in the groin area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 20 and 60 years old

This study compares two extra medicines added to the standard numbing medication used for a nerve block during inguinal hernia repair. The goal is to see which medicine provides better pain relief after surgery, while you are under spinal anesthesia (numbness from the waist down).
This study compares two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected near the groin nerves to see which one provides better pain relief after inguinal hernia surgery. It aims to help patients have less pain and use fewer painkillers after the procedure.
This study compares two types of pain-numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hernia repair surgery to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. If you are having this surgery, the trial aims to reduce your pain and improve your recovery.
This study compares two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) used alongside spinal anesthesia to reduce pain after open groin hernia surgery. The goal is to find which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 study compares two ways of numbing pain after open hernia surgery: a nerve block or injecting pain medicine into the surgical cut. Participants will be in spinal anesthesia and will receive one of these methods to see which provides better pain relief.
