NCT ID NCT07427927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at data from 100 adults who had hemorrhoid surgery. Researchers will use machine learning to find patterns and group patients by shared traits like age, symptoms, and surgery type. The goal is to see if these groups have different surgical experiences, which could help doctors plan more personalized care in the future.
