This trial is evaluating whether Treatment will improve 1 primary outcome in patients with Hemorrhoids. Measurement will happen over the course of 1 week.
This trial requires 42 total participants across 2 different treatment groups
This trial involves 2 different treatments. Treatment is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. Some patients will receive a placebo treatment. The treatments being tested are in Phase 4 and have been shown to be safe and effective in humans.
"A history of prior pain should be a key initial step in assessing a referral from a general surgeon. Postoperative pain can be substantial, but it has many underlying causes that should be addressed prior to embarking on pain management." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Postoperative pain is often the only problem that can't be eliminated with medications. However, with appropriate analgesics, patients may be quite anxious to avoid pain killers because of the fear that pain may return." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The incidence and prevalence of pain remain significant problems for postoperative patients. There are many treatment options, though no "gold standard" treatment has been found to be effective and safe, with most treatment strategies based on best clinical judgement. The American Association for Orthodontics Practice-Anesthesia and Specialty has created guidelines for the management of pain for postoperative patients." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This is an important issue in assessing postoperative pain. It is a complex phenomenon with many factors contributing to a patient's subjective perception of pain over time. Pain intensity in an individual can depend upon many factors and variables. Clinicians' decisions regarding the use of analgesic agents should be based on more than pain intensity alone." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"As of 1999, the national prevalence of pain, postoperative a year was 15% for postoperative back pain, 32% for lower back pain, 12% for thigh pain and 13% for neck pain. These rates varied widely at the local hospital level. Given the prevalence of symptoms and the use of opioids, these rates are worrisome and highlight the need for improved pain monitoring and treatment in the United States." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Almost all of the patients complained of headache following surgery for lumbar disk disease. Postoperative nausea was common in the early postoperative period. Aspiration fever, pneumonia and bronchospasm were also common in the postoperative period. Most of these symptoms were relieved by the introduction of effective analgesics." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Results from a recent clinical trial revealed that pain intensity and pain duration, which are important variables in evaluating the severity of pain, vary in patients following surgery. Duration of pain was found to be the most informative variable in assessing the severity of pain." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Patient education remains an important aspect of treatment. Patients need to be informed, so informed consent is a prerequisite for a successful treatment program. Once treatment begins, patients should be given a clear outline of the expected progress and outcomes in order to maintain their motivation and acceptance of treatment. Finally, patients should be counseled about the importance of keeping appointments and taking medication at regular intervals." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Clinical trial participation would benefit patients and medical professionals alike by providing a means of measuring treatment efficacy against placebo. It could also help identify relevant subgroups of patients for whom specific treatments might be more effective." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The number of patients enrolled in the study could have potentially biased data. Because of the retrospective nature of the study, the results need further study." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"There has not been a good deal of change in treatment and current guidelines for the treatment of patients with postoperative pain. These treatments have improved from the 1960s, but most are still less effective and have more adverse drug reactions, so patients have to take many medications and are more susceptible to complications and side effects. There is no evidence for most common treatments but there are good trials which show that there may be benefit from a combination of oral and parenteral analgesics, NSAIDS, and low dose opioid, paracetamol or acetaminophen. Combination of analgesia and NSAID with paracetamol can reduce pain, nausea and vomiting, and decrease the pain after surgery significantly." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"There are many discoveries in medical research on treating pain, especially postoperative pain. However, no new discoveries have been found in this subject for this journal." - Anonymous Online Contributor
