ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods to help relieve chronic pain in the groin area that some people experience after having hernia surgery. The two treatments being compared are called the transversalis fascia plane block (TFP) and the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block. Both methods use ultrasound to guide the injection, and the researchers want to see which one works better for patients who have been in pain for more than 12 weeks and have not found relief from other treatments.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been experiencing groin pain for over three months after your hernia surgery. However, if your pain is due to other medical issues, if you are pregnant, or if you have certain bleeding disorders or serious mental health conditions, you may not be eligible. If you join the study, you will be asked to rate your pain before and after receiving one of the treatments, helping the researchers understand which option is more effective. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and both men and women can take part.
