Comparing two pain medicines added to a nerve block for hernia repair
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must be generally healthy or have only mild illness (ASA I or II).
- You will have surgery to repair one inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin) that is planned ahead of time, not an emergency.
- Your weight must be between 45 and 100 kg (about 99 to 220 pounds), and your BMI must be 35 or less.
- You must be able to tell us how much pain you feel on a 0-to-10 scale.

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 medicines (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a nerve block for pain control during and after lower back surgery. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and the need for other painkillers.
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 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.
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 tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief for children getting hernia surgery. The medicine is given through a shot in the lower back (caudal epidural block) to help keep your child comfortable during and after the operation.
