NCT ID NCT07442188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques—Quadro-iliac Plane Block and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block—for pain control after inguinal hernia repair. About 60 adults aged 18-65 will be enrolled to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery. The goal is to reduce opioid use and improve patient comfort after surgery.
