Which block works best for hemorrhoid pain?
NCT ID NCT07350460
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to control pain after hemorrhoid surgery. One group gets a pudendal block, the other a sacral ESP block, both using the same numbing medicine. Researchers will measure pain levels and how quickly patients recover. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief and faster recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ropivacaine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the sacral ESP block provides equal or better pain control than the pudendal block, improving recovery after hemorrhoid surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain relief varies by individual, and the sham injections may cause some discomfort.
