Pain relief after hemorrhoid surgery: comparing two medicines
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two pain-relief medicines (liposomal bupivacaine and ropivacaine) given during open hemorrhoidectomy surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain control and recovery after surgery. To join, you need to be having this surgery for advanced hemorrhoids and meet certain health criteria.
