Pain relief with a nerve block for hemorrhoid surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (called a pudendal block) given through the skin near the bottom of your pelvis can improve pain control after hemorrhoid surgery. If you are having outpatient surgery for hemorrhoids, this may help you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had hemorrhoid surgery before.

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 trial tests if a pill called nifedipine can help reduce pain and speed healing after hemorrhoid surgery. It compares nifedipine to a placebo (a pill with no medicine).
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.
This trial tests if a numbing injection into the pudendal nerve can reduce pain after one month. It's for people with pudendal neuralgia that hasn't improved with medication.
