The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the use of Ovitex mesh provides superior reduction in 2-year recurrence compared to pledgeted suture closure (no mesh) for patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair at the Cleveland Clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine whether there is a difference in 2-year rates of radiographic recurrence with Ovitex versus pledgeted sutures in paraesophageal hernia repair. * Assess patient quality of life (QOL) after paraesophageal hernia repair with pledgets and mesh. A two-tailed research hypothesis will be used to determine whether there are differences between the two arms

This is a prospective randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial that will enroll 75 subjects undergoing laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair surgery. Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the opioid sparring anesthesia protocol (OSA) or the opioid based anesthesia protocol (OBA). The purpose of this study is to investigate if an opioid sparring protocol for laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair will reduce opioid consumption during discharge. Other outcomes include: postoperative VAS scores (PACU arrival, PACU discharge, hospital discharge), total in hospital opioid consumption, PACU length of stay, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV in PACU, postoperative day 1, during hospital stay), rehospitalization rate, rate of reoperation, rate of emergency room visit, surgeon satisfaction, and hospital cost differential.

Patients with reflux disease (heart burn), or a hiatal hernia, who do not get better with medication, may have surgery to help with their symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no agreed upon way to perform the surgery. The investigators are using a new surgical instrument called the EndoFLIP which allows surgeons to take measurements during the operation. The investigators will compare the measurements obtained during surgery with a quality of life score that we will calculate from a questionnaire.

The goal of this study is to establish the face, content, discriminant and predictive validity of the Virtual Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Simulator (VLaHHS). The study population includes GS residents. The goal of developing scenarios for the simulator will be accomplished first and establishing the validity of the VLaHHS will be conducted in three phases after that: 1. Needs assessment survey of current practices in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair a. Development of scenarios and metrics for the VLaHHS b. Assessment of validity of metrics developed for VLaHHS 3) Assessment of validity of VLaHHS 1. Phase I - Face and content Validity Assessment of VLaHHS 2. Phase II - Discriminant Validity Assessment of VLaHHS 3. Phase III - Learning Curve, Retention and Transfer Assessment (predictive validity) of VLaHHS Part 3- Phase III of this study is the interventional portion while rest of the parts and phases do not involve an intervention. The goal of this phase of the study is to establish the learning curve and predictive validity of the VLaHHS. The hypothesis is that the subject trained in VLaHHS will improve their skills compared to control with no training and show better transfer of skills on to an actual procedure.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the incidence and severity of post-operative shoulder pain following elective robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair in hopes of reducing pain and associated costs as well as clinic and emergency department visits due to this pain. You will undergo standard robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair with the standard postoperative care. The only difference is that you may be selected for the group where lower pressures used to fill your abdomen with carbon dioxide will be used, and you will be asked to fill out logs regarding your pain postoperatively. You will have postoperative appointments that are standard following this procedure.

PRP in Hiatal Hernia Repair

Newport Beach, California
This trial is testing whether using platelet rich plasma (PRP) with mesh in hiatal hernia surgery can improve healing and reduce hernia recurrence. The study involves adults with large hernias and looks at the effects of PRP on healing and recurrence rates. PRP is believed to enhance tissue healing, making the repair stronger. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been underinvestigated for improving hernia repair outcomes, but it may enhance healing and reduce recurrence rates.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Hiatal Hernia clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Hiatal Hernia clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Hiatal Hernia trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Hiatal Hernia is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Hiatal Hernia medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Hiatal Hernia clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Virtual Laparoscopic Simulator for Hiatal Hernia, Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum for Postoperative Shoulder Pain and Biosynthetic Mesh for Hiatal Hernia to the Power online platform.
