Foam injection treatment for painful internal hemorrhoids
This study tests a foam injection treatment to shrink internal hemorrhoids and reduce bleeding or prolapse. It is a simple outpatient procedure that may help people whose symptoms haven't improved with diet and topical creams.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have internal hemorrhoids that bleed or slip out (grade 2 or 3).
- You have had at least 2 rectal bleeding episodes per week for the last month, or hemorrhoids that protrude.
- Your symptoms have not improved after 4 to 6 weeks of standard care like more fiber, fluids, and creams.
- You cannot be pregnant or have certain other conditions like bleeding disorders, infections, or past hemorrhoid surgery.

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 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 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.
This trial studies a procedure (“CAES”) for people with internal hemorrhoids (grades I–III) and/or rectal prolapse. It may help reduce symptoms and improve bleeding or discomfort, as long as your condition fits the study’s safety rules.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating grade II-III internal hemorrhoids. Both are done through a scope and aim to reduce symptoms with less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding from internal hemorrhoids: a procedure that blocks the blood supply to the hemorrhoid (embolization) versus traditional surgery. The goal is to see which treatment is safer and works better to control bleeding and improve quality of life.
