Muscle relaxation study for hernia surgery halted before starting
NCT ID NCT03201744
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to compare moderate versus deep muscle relaxation during keyhole surgery for ventral hernias. It planned to see if deeper relaxation allows lower air pressure in the abdomen, improving surgical conditions and patient recovery. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
