Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  In inguinal hernia surgery patients post operative pain is intervened with ilioiguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block using 0.25% bupivaccaine and 0.9% normal saline.the efficacy of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block in reducing postoperative analgesic comsumption is compared in this study.  GROUP B: 17.5MG OF 0.5% BUPIVACCAINE UESD IN SUBARACHNOID BLOCK+ 20ML OF 0.25%% BUPIVACCAINE AS BLOCK DRUG FOR ILIOINGUINAL AND ILIOHYPOGASTRIC NERVE BLOCK...GROUP C: 17.5MG OF 0.5% BUPIVACCAINE USED IN SUBARACHNOID BLOCK+ 20ML OF 0.9% NORMAL SALINE USED IN ILIOINGUINAL AND ILIOHYPOGASTRIC NERVE BLOCK. POSTOERATIVE PAIN SCORE(VAS),TIME INTERVAL UNTIL FIRST DOSE OF ANALGESIC AND TOTAL ANALGESIC REQUIREMENT IN FIRST 24 HOURS ARE COMPARED 
Comparator Agent  The efficacy and effectiveness of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block in reducing post operative pain score and their reduction of total analgesic dose consumption are compared with parentral analgesics.  The efficacy and effectiveness of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block in reducing post operative pain score and their reduction of total analgesic dose consumption are compared with parentral analgesics.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical procedure.Immediate post operative pain is an important issue that can delay ambulation and return of gastrointestinal motility,therefore delaying hospital discharge. Pain after herniorrhapy which can affect upto 50% of patients,this picture seems to be related to inadequate postoperative pain treatment,which makes control of postoperative pain is fundamental. opioids, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and analgesics are commonly used to treat postoperative pain,but they are associated with several undesiarable side effects.management of postoperative pain is often unsatisfactory.the drugs not seem to be completely effective on preventing and treating postoperative pain. ultrasound guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block presents a novel anaesthetic technique. The effectiveness of ultrasound guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block for relieving post operative pain following inguinal hernia surgeries is going to be evaluated in this study.
