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 trial tests whether ketamine can lessen pain after hemorrhoidectomy (surgery for severe hemorrhoids). It may help reduce how much pain medicine you need during recovery.
This trial tests an investigational tablet called HL-1186 for controlling pain after orthopedic surgery. It explores whether the drug can safely reduce moderate to severe pain when given after the procedure.
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.
This trial tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the anal muscle before hemorrhoid removal surgery can lower pain after the operation. It is for people with advanced hemorrhoids that have not gotten better with other treatments and who are already planning to have surgery.
