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 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 applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) can help reduce pain after hemorrhoid removal surgery. It may be an option for patients who need elective surgery for grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids.
This trial tests a cream containing two medicines (nifedipine and lidocaine) for painful, protruding hemorrhoids. The cream may help reduce pain and swelling. You can join if you have moderate to severe hemorrhoids that come out of the anus and have already started the cream in the last five days.
This trial looks at whether a specific nerve pain-block (the ganglion impar block) can reduce pain after hemorrhoid surgery. It may help by targeting pain signals after anal surgery, but your eligibility depends on safety and prior history.
