Embolization treatment for hemorrhoid bleeding
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a procedure that blocks blood flow to bleeding hemorrhoids (called superior rectal arterial embolization). It may help people with hemorrhoid bleeding who are being considered for treatment, especially when bleeding is significant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- You have hemorrhoids (grade I to III) with rectal bleeding as the main symptom
- Your bleeding is significant (HBS score of 5 or higher) as decided by the study team
- You can read and understand Dutch, French, or English
- You have not had certain past hemorrhoid-related surgeries (like proctological surgery for hemorrhoids)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called embolization (blocking the blood supply) to treat hemorrhoids that bleed or come back. It may be a good option if you want to avoid surgery.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for advanced (grade III or IV) hemorrhoids. One is a newer sutureless technique and the other the standard ligation (tying) method. It aims to see which provides better relief from symptoms like bleeding and pain.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating grade II-III internal hemorrhoids. Both are done through a scope and aim to reduce symptoms with less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
This study tests how safe and well a hemorrhoid treatment device (PexyEazy®) works for adults with moderate-to-severe hemorrhoids (grade II–III). You may be a candidate if you fit the hemorrhoid grade and medical safety requirements and can follow the study plan.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating symptomatic grade 2 or 3 hemorrhoids: radiofrequency ablation and doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer.
This trial tests if blocking certain blood vessels in the rectum can reduce bleeding and other symptoms from hemorrhoids. If you have bothersome internal hemorrhoids that haven't been helped by other treatments or if surgery is not an option for you, this study may be a fit.
