Pain relief options for open inguinal hernia surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a spinal injection of morphine and a numbing injection near the abdomen. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.

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.
This study compares two types of pain blocks given during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks and use a patient-controlled pain pump to manage their pain.
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 nerve-block techniques (Quadratus Lumborum block vs. Transversalis Fascia block) to control pain after inguinal hernia surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
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 open inguinal hernia repair surgery. The goal is to determine which method works better to keep you comfortable during recovery.
