Does extra numbing improve hernia surgery recovery?
NCT ID NCT06155253
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether numbing nerves at two spots (bi-level) instead of one (single-level) reduces pain and improves recovery after open inguinal hernia repair. 90 adults received one of the two numbing injections before surgery. Researchers measured pain scores and recovery quality afterward to see if the two-level approach was better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
local anaesthetic mixture (lidocaine with adrenaline, bupivacaine)
What this could lead to
If bi-level block works better, it could improve pain control and recovery after hernia surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit of bi-level over single-level block may be small or absent.
