Nerve block for pain relief after hemorrhoid surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a nerve block (an injection that numbs the area around the buttock) before hemorrhoid surgery can reduce pain after the operation. If you're having this surgery, the nerve block may help you recover more comfortably with less need for strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled to have hemorrhoid surgery using one of two standard techniques (Milligan-Morgan or Ferguson).

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 study tests a numbing injection near the tailbone to reduce pain after hemorrhoid surgery. It may help you need fewer pain medications and recover more comfortably.
This study compares two ways to numb the area for hemorrhoid surgery: an ultrasound-guided nerve block near the tailbone (sacral erector spinae plane block) versus a traditional spinal 'saddle block.' The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.
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.
This study tests whether giving a special numbing injection around pelvic nerves during minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery can improve pain control and reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably.
