Methylene blue plus ropivacaine for less pain after hemorrhoid surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding methylene blue to the standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) can reduce pain after hemorrhoid removal. If you are having a specific type of hemorrhoid surgery (Milligan-Morgan) and are otherwise healthy, this might help you recover with less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.
- You have grade III or IV hemorrhoids (advanced hemorrhoids that often need surgery).
- You are scheduled for a Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (a common surgical technique).
- Your surgery will be done under spinal anesthesia only (numbing from the waist down).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have bleeding problems or serious health conditions like heart, liver, or kidney failure.

This trial tests whether injecting methylene blue (a dye) into the area around the anus during hemorrhoid surgery can reduce pain after the operation. If you are having Milligan-Morgan surgery for mixed hemorrhoids, this study may help find a way to make your recovery more comfortable.
This trial studies whether infusing methylene blue during above- or below-knee leg amputation can improve outcomes for people with poor blood flow to the legs. It targets patients having surgery under general anesthesia, while excluding those with certain allergies or blood clotting problems.
This trial tests if shining red and blue light on surgical wounds helps them heal faster after hemorrhoid surgery. It may reduce pain and speed recovery.
This trial tests a dynamic pain assessment and management system to improve pain control for people having hemorrhoid surgery. It may help you if you have severe incarcerated hemorrhoids and are planning a standard operation with spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests if adding methylene blue to standard pain medicine helps you recover faster and with less pain after hemorrhoid surgery. It is for people having spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests a long-acting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine to see if it reduces pain after hemorrhoid surgery better than standard care. It may be an option for people who are otherwise healthy and scheduled for this surgery.
