Straining and bowel issues in bleeding hemorrhoids
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how problems with bowel movements and straining relate to bleeding hemorrhoids. It may help find better ways to treat these symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a colonoscopy in the last year because of rectal bleeding, and hemorrhoids were the only cause found.
- Your doctor has ordered a test called anorectal manometry at the University of Michigan.
- You do not have an anal fissure (a small tear in the skin around the anus).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at people who have had surgery for hemorrhoids to find common patterns or groups among them. It may help improve care by better understanding different types of hemorrhoid disease.
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 looks at how well rectal artery embolization (a procedure that uses tiny particles to block blood flow to hemorrhoids) works for treating bleeding internal hemorrhoids. It aims to understand if this treatment improves quality of life and reduces symptoms.
This trial builds a “database” to better understand why some people have stool (faecal) leakage versus double incontinence (urine plus stool). It asks about symptoms and performs a rectal pressure test to see which factors are linked to different types of leakage.
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.
