stitch and laser treatment for hemorrhoids
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a combined treatment for hemorrhoids that are causing symptoms. It uses a technique to stitch the hemorrhoid tissue back in place (suture mucopexy) plus a laser to shrink blood vessels. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people with grades II, III, or IV hemorrhoids, even if they've had other treatments before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have hemorrhoids that cause symptoms like bleeding, pain, or a feeling of fullness.
- Your hemorrhoids should be grade II, III, or IV (meaning they sometimes come out of your bottom, or stay out).
- It's okay if you've had other treatments before, like rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, or traditional hemorrhoid surgery.
- You cannot have a severely painful, swollen hemorrhoid that just started (acute thrombosis).
- You cannot have an anal fistula, abscess, or active inflammatory bowel disease affecting your rectum, and you cannot have had a stapled hemorrhoidopexy before.

This study compares two surgical treatments for severe hemorrhoids: traditional excision versus a stapling procedure. It may help you and your care team choose the approach that works best for symptoms in grade III–IV hemorrhoids.
This study compares two surgeries for internal hemorrhoids: a newer laser treatment that aims to reduce pain versus the traditional open surgery. If you have painful internal hemorrhoids, this trial may help you find a less painful recovery option.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for advanced (grade III or IV) hemorrhoids. One is a newer sutureless technique and the other the standard ligation (tying) method. It aims to see which provides better relief from symptoms like bleeding and pain.
This study tracks how well laser treatment works for people with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum that cause bleeding, itching, or pain). You would undergo the laser procedure and be followed to see how your symptoms improve.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating symptomatic grade 2 or 3 hemorrhoids: radiofrequency ablation and doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer.
This study compares two different surgical methods for treating severe hemorrhoids (third and fourth degree). The SHAPE procedure is a newer technique being tested against the traditional Milligan-Morgan approach to see which works better for pain relief and recovery.
