Hemorrhoid Treatment Registry: Tracking Embolization Safety
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This registry collects information about a minimally invasive procedure called hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE), which blocks blood vessels feeding internal hemorrhoids. It's for adults with persistent bleeding hemorrhoids that haven't improved with standard treatments like creams or medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have internal hemorrhoids (swollen veins inside the rectum) that bleed
- Your bleeding has not improved with standard treatments like topical creams or medications
- Your doctor has referred you for hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) procedure
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or severe untreated medical conditions

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 tests a procedure called hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) using small coils to stop bleeding from grade II or III hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids that protrude but can be pushed back in or come out when you strain). It may be an option if you have significant bleeding and haven't had recent hemorrhoid treatments or certain other conditions.
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 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 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 trial compares two less invasive energy-based treatments with standard surgery for people with grade III hemorrhoids. If you are between 18 and 75 and your hemorrhoids cause significant symptoms, this study may help find a gentler option.
