Can a targeted nerve block silence Post-Surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT06778629
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a specific nerve block, called a transversalis fascia plane block, can reduce pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Sixty adults undergoing this surgery will receive the block, and researchers will measure their pain scores and painkiller use for 24 hours after the operation. The goal is to see if this block offers better pain control and a smoother recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Transversalis fascia plane block, a nerve block procedure using local anesthetic injected under ultrasound guidance
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this nerve block could become a standard way to reduce pain and the need for painkillers after laparoscopic hernia repair, improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and the block may not provide significant pain relief for everyone. There are also risks like infection, bleeding, or allergic reactions to the anesthetic.
