Pain relief methods after laparoscopic hernia surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your BMI is between 18 and 35 kg/m² (a measure of body weight relative to height)
- You are in good enough health for surgery (ASA physical status I-III, meaning no severe organ disease)
- You can understand how to use a patient-controlled pain pump and report your pain level
- You do not have an active allergy to numbing medications or ongoing blood thinner use

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 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 study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (injection near the abdominal muscles) versus a low-dose painkiller (morphine) given through the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method provides better relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through small incisions). Both methods numb the area around the spine to reduce post-surgery pain without relying only on strong painkillers.
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study tests whether acupressure can reduce pain after laparoscopic hernia repair surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, acupressure might help you manage pain without extra medication.
