  We’re testing whether slowly dissolving stitches (PDS) work as well as permanent stitches (Prolene) for adults with a non-mesh Shouldice inguinal hernia repair.

  Recruiting Northwestern University · Chicago, Illinois · NCT07883122

• Acupressure for Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic TEP Hernia Repair

  This trial tests whether true acupressure, given after surgery, reduces pain more than sham acupressure or standard care for adults undergoing laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair.

  Recruiting Medipol University · Istanbul, Istanbul · NCT07787871

• TREPP: A Minimally Invasive Open Approach to Repair Inguinal Hernias

  This study tests the trans rectus sheath extra-peritoneal procedure (TREPP) to repair inguinal hernias and see if it reduces pain and recurrence relative to traditional methods.

  Recruiting Assiut University · Asyut, Asyut Governorate · NCT07618884

• Camera-based non-contact vital sign monitoring during surgery

  This project will try a camera-based non-contact system to measure heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels in adults having surgery under general anesthesia.

  Recruiting Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan · Taipei · NCT07473687

• Pneumoperitoneum time and bicarbonate changes during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair

  This study will see if longer pneumoperitoneum time during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair causes changes in blood bicarbonate levels in adults.

  Recruiting Haseki Training and Research Hospital · Istanbul · NCT07473583

• Ultrasound-guided TAP and rectus sheath nerve blocks to improve recovery after open inguinal hernia repair.

  This trial will test whether ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and/or rectus sheath (RS) nerve blocks reduce opioid use and speed recovery in adults having open unilateral inguinal hernia repair.

  Recruiting Tampere University Hospital · Tampere · NCT07423910

• Preventing wound infections in children having open groin surgery with IV antibiotics or antimicrobial-coated sutures

  This will test whether a single IV antibiotic dose or antimicrobial-coated sutures prevent wound infections in children having open groin surgery.

  Recruiting Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital · Ile-Ife, Osun State · NCT07346742

• Dexmedetomidine versus dexamethasone added to bupivacaine for caudal epidural pain relief in children having inguinal hernia repair

  This will test whether adding dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone to bupivacaine gives better pain relief for children aged 2–6 having inguinal hernia surgery.

  Recruiting Sohag University · Sohag · NCT07056244

• Comparing ligament preservation and removal in hernia surgery for women

  This study is trying to see if keeping or removing a specific ligament during hernia surgery helps women recover faster and have fewer problems afterward.

  Recruiting Nanchong Central Hospital · Nanchong, Sichuan · NCT06885788

• Comparing two nerve block techniques for chronic pain after hernia surgery

  This study is testing two different nerve block methods to see which one helps people with ongoing pain after hernia surgery feel better.

  Recruiting Diskapi Teaching and Research Hospital · Ankara · NCT06871605

• Evaluating the impact of round ligament preservation in hernia repair for women

  This study tests whether keeping or cutting a specific ligament during hernia surgery helps women recover better and feel more satisfied afterward.

  Recruiting Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital · Istanbul, Başakşehir · NCT06786702

• Comparing two techniques for inguinal hernia repair

  This study is testing two different surgical methods for fixing inguinal hernias in adult men to see which one leads to less pain and fewer complications after surgery.

  Recruiting Cairo University · Cairo · NCT06595628

• Comparing laparoscopic and open hernia repair in children

  This study is testing whether a new minimally invasive hernia repair technique for kids is better and cheaper than the traditional surgery.

  Recruiting at 5 sites Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) · Veldhoven, North Brabant and 8 other locations · NCT06451432

• Understanding chronic pelvic pain in both females and males

  This study looks at how common chronic pelvic pain is in both men and women and tests different treatments to see what helps manage the pain better.

  Recruiting Salem Anaesthesia Pain Clinic · Surrey, British Columbia · NCT06102733

• Evaluating lifting restrictions after inguinal hernia surgery

  This study is testing if letting patients decide when to return to normal activities after inguinal hernia surgery helps them heal better and feel happier compared to following strict lifting restrictions.

  Recruiting VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System · Aurora, Colorado · NCT05867134

• Registry for inguinal and femoral hernia surgical outcomes

  This study is trying to see how well surgery for inguinal and femoral hernias works by looking at pain levels and patient satisfaction one year after the operation.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven · Leuven and 1 other locations · NCT04623580

• Comparing conventional and robot-assisted methods for inguinal hernia repair

  This study is testing whether using robot-assisted surgery for inguinal hernia repair helps adults recover faster compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery, especially when local anesthetic is added.

  Recruiting Algemeen Ziekenhuis Maria Middelares · Ghent · NCT03904888

NIH-funded research (1)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Investigating local anesthesia for inguinal hernia surgery in older adults

  This study is looking at whether using local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia for inguinal hernia repair can help older adults recover better and have fewer complications, and it aims to gather information that could lead to a bigger trial in the future.
