Pain relief after hemorrhoid surgery with a nerve block
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (an injection to numb the area) can reduce pain after outpatient hemorrhoid surgery. It may help you recover with less discomfort.

This study tests whether giving a nerve block (an injection that numbs the area around the buttock) before hemorrhoid surgery can reduce pain after the operation. If you're having this surgery, the nerve block may help you recover more comfortably with less need for strong painkillers.
This study tests two types of numbing injections (a pudendal block and a sacral ESP block) to see which works better for pain after hemorrhoid surgery. If you're scheduled for this surgery, you might qualify to help find a better way to manage pain.
This study compares two ways to numb the area for hemorrhoid surgery: an ultrasound-guided nerve block near the tailbone (sacral erector spinae plane block) versus a traditional spinal 'saddle block.' The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the anal muscle before hemorrhoid removal surgery can lower pain after the operation. It is for people with advanced hemorrhoids that have not gotten better with other treatments and who are already planning to have surgery.
This study tests whether the oral medication nifedipine, compared to a placebo (a sugar pill), reduces pain and speeds up healing after hemorrhoid surgery. If you are having hemorrhoidectomy, this could help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether ketamine can lessen pain after hemorrhoidectomy (surgery for severe hemorrhoids). It may help reduce how much pain medicine you need during recovery.
