Comparing two pain blocks for hemorrhoid surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and scheduled for hemorrhoid removal surgery.

- Your health status is stable (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You are not pregnant and weigh at least 50 kg (about 110 pounds).
- You do not have a severe bleeding problem, allergy to numbing medicines, or infection near where the shot would go.

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 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.
This study compares two ways to numb the lower belly and groin area for children having hypospadias repair. It tests if a newer injection method (sacral erector spinae block) works as well as the standard method (caudal block) to control pain during and after surgery.
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.
This trial is comparing two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used for pain relief after keyhole (laparoscopic) abdominal surgery. The goal is to see which block works better to control pain and help you recover faster.
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.
