There are currently 10 active clinical trials seeking participants for Inguinal Hernia research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Inguinal Hernia participants are Texas, Ohio, California and Florida.
No Opioids vs. Minimal Opioids Following Inguinal Hernia Repair
Recruiting
The investigators hypothesize that not prescribing opioids after uncomplicated, outpatient IHR will be non-inferior to prescribing opioids (5 tablets of Oxycodone, 5mg; or surgeon preference for intolerance) with respect to requests for opioid refills. Additionally, the investigators believe there will be no significant difference in postoperative readmission for pain quality of life at 30 days in either group.

A Pilot Study of Local Anesthesia for Inguinal Hernia Surgery in Older Adults
Recruiting
Inguinal hernia repair-the most common general surgery operation in the U.S.-provides a unique opportunity to improve outcomes for older patients by changing surgical practice. Nearly 80% of inguinal hernia operations are performed under general anesthesia versus 15-20% using local anesthesia, despite the absence of evidence for superiority. The choice of anesthesia has particular implications for older adults because they face substantial short- and long-term risk of cognitive and physical decl... Read More

Natural History of Infants With Patent Processus Vaginalis
Recruiting
This will be a multi-center prospective observational study of all patients who undergo laparoscopic pyloromyotomy. Subjects who have PPV will be followed up to just before their 18th birthday through annual phone calls or emails to determine the incidence and timing of subsequent inguinal hernia.

Methocarbamol in Ventral and Inguinal HR
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to gather information on methocarbamol as a pain management treatment for ventral or inguinal hernia repair. Methocarbamol has been part of the pain management treatment for both inpatient and outpatient procedures at Prisma Health. This study will compare the outcomes of patients who receive methocarbamol, those who receive the standard opioid pain management treatment, and those who receive methocarbamol plus the standard opioid pain management treatment.

Post-operative Pain Control-TAP Block Using Exparel vs. Marcaine for Hernia Repairs
Recruiting
While studies have shown improved postoperative pain control with TAP blocks after inguinal and ventral hernia repair, data comparing Liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) to bupivacaine alone in formulation of the TAP block is particularly scarce. Therefore, we designed a prospective, randomized trial comparing the postoperative pain control in minimally invasive ventral and inguinal hernia repair patients who receive an Exaparel-based TAP block compared to the traditional bupivacaine (Marcaine) TAP...

Treatment of Occult Inguinal Hernias
Recruiting
Inguinal hernias are a common surgical problem. Best management of occult inguinal hernias, defined as hernias unable to be felt on physical exam, is unknown. From prior studies we know that most inguinal hernias will eventually become symptomatic and require surgery (70%). However, doing a repair on a very small, occult hernia may open the patient up to surgical complications, like chronic pain, earlier than necessary. This will be a multi-center randomized controlled trial of surgical repair v... Read More

Activity Restrictions After Inguinal Hernia Repair
Recruiting
This research is intended to be a pilot study to identify differences in outcomes for varied lifting and physical activity precautions following surgical repair of single-sided inguinal hernias. The researchers hypothesize that when given the autonomy to return to activity at the patient's discretion, convalescence will decrease in comparison to a control group given specific precautions to refrain from lifting and strenuous activity. Specific aims include differences in convalescence and surgic... Read More

Safety, Tolerability, PK, and Analgesic Effect of INL-001 in Children Following Open Inguinal Hernia Repair
Recruiting
A multicenter, single-dose study in children 12 to <17 years of age, 6 to <12 years of age, and 2 to <6 years of age who are scheduled for elective open inguinal hernia repair. Enrollment in this study will start with the oldest age group (12 to <17 years) and will continue in a stepwise fashion until appropriate doses are established for all 3 pediatric age groups (12 to <17 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years).
