Comparing Opioid Vs Non Opioid Analgesics for Postoperative Pain Management in Unilateral Primary Open Inguinal Hernia Repair
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pain management after surgery for Inguinal Hernia Unilateral and Pain Management. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To control post-operative pain, multiple drugs are available, and in the western countries opioids are preferred.

We compared the use of opioids vs just non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on post-operative pain control following inguinal hernia surgery
