Brief Summary:
Groin hernia repair is a common procedure performed in approximately 2,000 patients per one million inhabitants. Severe chronic pain following groin hernia repair is seen in 2-5% of the patients indicating that a large number of patients each year suffer from debilitating reduction in health-related quality of life.
This study examines the effect of ultra-sound guided blocks with local anesthesia in the groin in regard to pain relief and sleep quality.
The hypothesis of the study is that a block will confer significant pain relief to patients with severe chronic pain following laparoscopical groin hernia repair.
Detailed Description:
This placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, cross-over study in subjects with severe pain after laparoscopically assisted groin hernia repair, examines the effect of an ultra-sound guided local anesthetic block of a trigger-point, situated near the spermatic cord at the superficial inguinal ring.
