NCT ID NCT07317492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with hemorrhoids are more likely to have varicose veins in their legs. Researchers will use ultrasound to check the leg veins of 400 adults—200 with hemorrhoids and 200 without. No treatments or procedures are given; the goal is simply to see if a connection exists.
