What this Trial Is About
Researchers are comparing two types of nerve blocks used for pain control after inguinal hernia surgery: the anterior iliac block and the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block. The study aims to see which technique provides longer-lasting pain relief and better patient satisfaction. This comparison is important because effective pain management can improve comfort and reduce the need for opioid medications after surgery. Participants will receive either the anterior iliac block or the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block after their hernia surgery. These nerve blocks are given to help manage pain at the surgical site. The study is randomized and double-blinded, meaning neither the patients nor the researchers know which block is being given to ensure unbiased results. During the study, pain levels will be measured using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at multiple times after surgery: 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. Researchers will also assess patient satisfaction and track how much additional pain medication is needed. The study plans to start in April 2026 and follow participants until September 2026, focusing on safety and effectiveness of these pain relief methods.
