New study seeks best way to block pain after hernia surgery
NCT ID NCT07251400
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (erector spinae plane block and rectus sheath block) for controlling pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Ten adults aged 18-70 are enrolled. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and reduces the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.
