Summary
This completed trial tested a medical device cream called PROCTOeze® PLUS in 50 adults with mild to moderate hemorrhoids (Grade I-II). Participants applied the cream at home for 14 days to see if it improved symptoms and quality of life. The study measured changes using a short health questionnaire and a doctor-rated severity score.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PROCTOeze® PLUS (hydrophilic emulsion cream)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this cream could offer a safe, non-drug option for easing hemorrhoid symptoms and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed post-market study with only 50 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. The cream only treats symptoms, not the underlying condition.
