Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)Standard Postoperative Care

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): Physician-supervised application of TENS to the inguinal region after hernia surgery, following a standardized protocol.

Standard Postoperative Care: Participants in this arm will receive routine postoperative care following inguinal hernia surgery, without TENS application.

Study summary

This study evaluates whether Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) improves postoperative pain and sleep quality in adults undergoing inguinal hernia surgery. After surgery, participants will receive physician-supervised TENS or usual care. Pain intensity and sleep quality will be measured and compared between groups to assess the effectiveness and safety of TENS as a supportive recovery method.
