Opioid Education for Ventral Hernia Repair Surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study teaches patients about opioid pain medication before hernia repair surgery. It aims to help patients make informed decisions about pain management and understand safer opioid use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need ventral hernia repair surgery (a procedure to repair a bulge in the abdominal wall)
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old
- You must be able to understand and watch educational videos in English
- You cannot have an opioid use disorder diagnosis
- You cannot currently take opioid pain medications regularly or have a standing opioid prescription
- You cannot have an infected mesh or a fistula (abnormal opening) requiring surgery at the same time as your hernia repair

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hernia repair surgery: using an epidural (a small tube in your back that delivers pain medicine) versus other pain medications that aim to reduce opioid use. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This study looks at people who have had a hernia repair with mesh and are now having another belly surgery. The goal is to see how the mesh position affects the surgery and its risks.
This study tests if listening to music therapy before and during hernia surgery can lower the need for strong painkillers (narcotics). It may help you manage pain with less medication.
This trial tests a video education program to help women safely use opioids after breast reconstruction surgery. It is for patients who have had a mastectomy and are getting a breast rebuilt using their own tissue.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
This study compares minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for repairing ventral hernias, which are bulges in the belly area. The goal is to see which method leads to better outcomes, such as less pain and faster recovery.
