NCT ID NCT07423910
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (TAP, RS, or both) can reduce pain and opioid use after open inguinal hernia surgery. 200 adults will be randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks or a placebo, alongside standard care. The goal is to see if these blocks speed recovery and lower the chance of unplanned hospital stays.
