Summary

This study tests whether nitroglycerin ointment can reduce pain after a common procedure for internal hemorrhoids called rubber band ligation. About 68 adults will receive either the ointment or a placebo right after the procedure, and researchers will track how many need extra pain medicine within 72 hours. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to improve recovery and daily comfort after treatment.
