This study compares a lidocaine ointment versus a nitroglycerin (GTN) ointment for pain relief after hemorrhoid removal surgery. It aims to see which works better for patients with advanced hemorrhoids.
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 study compares two types of rubber bands (one made of latex, one not) used to treat internal hemorrhoids. It may help find the better option for people with grade 2-3 hemorrhoids.
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.
This trial compares two treatment methods for internal hemorrhoids that haven't improved with diet, fiber, or creams. One method blocks blood flow to the hemorrhoids using a catheter (a thin tube); the other uses rubber bands to cut off blood supply. Both are minimally invasive procedures.
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.
