New study tests better pain control after hernia surgery
NCT ID NCT07238829
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (TFPB) versus surgical wound infiltration with local anesthetic. About 104 adults will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which reduces opioid use and improves pain scores and recovery in the first 24 hours after surgery.
