Transversalis Fascia Plane vs Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric Nerve Block for the Treatment of CPIP
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFP) and ilioinguinal (II) and iliohypogastric (IH) nerve block in the treatment of chronic post-herniorrhaphy inguinal pain (CPIP) refractory to conservative treatments. For this evaluation, a numerical rating scale (NRS) will be used before and after both interventions.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Complaints of inguinal pain \>12 weeks post-herniorrhaphy surgery * \>18 years of age * Failure of conservative pain management Exclusion Criteria: * Other causes of inguinal pain (haematoma, infection, tubo-ovarian disease, abscess, etc., gynaecological, urological and organic pathologies after inguinal hernia, etc.) * Pregnancy * Coagulopathy, antiaggregant/anticoagulant/antiplatelet use * Unstable psychiatric illness
