Comparing two nerve block techniques for chronic pain after hernia surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block versus ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block in treating chronic post-herniorrhaphy inguinal pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. Participants will be assessed using a numerical rating scale to measure pain levels before and after receiving either intervention. The study addresses a significant issue, as chronic pain after hernia surgery can severely impact patients' quality of life and daily activities. By comparing these two nerve block techniques, the study seeks to identify a more effective pain management strategy for affected individuals.
