Protocol summary

Study aim
1. Determining the frequency distribution of hemorrhage in patients undergoing drug treatment, ten days after starting treatment 2. Determining the frequency distribution of the necessary turns of the ligation band to stop the bleeding 3. Determining the frequency distribution of the necessary turns of the ligation band to remove the hemorrhoid (eradication) 4. Comparison of the frequency distribution of hemorrhage in patients treated with ligation band and drug treatment 5. Comparison of frequency distribution of recurrence in one-year follow-up period in patients undergoing ligation and drug treatment
Design
Randomized, parallel group trial without blinding. Randomization was done with a randomization random numbers software.
Settings and conduct
The study is performed in the clinics of Khorshid and AlZahra hospitals. The control group receives drug treatment and the intervention group undergoes ligation. The drug treatment group is re-visited ten days after the start of treatment. The ligation band group is visited every month to a year and, if necessary, is re-ligated bandage until the hemorrhoid warts are completely removed.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: People with grade 2 and3 hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding without other anorectal problems Exclusion criteria: 1. Conscious dissatisfaction 2. Coagulation problems 3. Immune deficiency 4. Cirrhosis of the liver 5. portal hypertension
Intervention groups
Sixty patients with a diagnosis of grade 2 or 3 internal hemorrhoids are randomly divided into two groups. Half of the patients are treated with antihemorrhoid ointment. The second group of patients are treated with ligation band method.
Main outcome variables
Type of treatment, independent, nominal; recurrence, dependent, nominal; bleeding, dependent, nominal; age, underlying, continuous; sex, underlying, nominal; response time, dependent, continuous

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Band ligation; The patients supposed to be treated with band ligation are required to lie in the knee chest or lateral position. First, the anus is lubricated with Lidocaine gel, and then the anoscope is inserted into the anus, and with a hemorrhoidectomy device connected to a suction tube, one or two elastic bands are used to ligate the band. Then, the patient is given the necessary explanations for not using suppositories and ointments during this period. The patient is then recommended to return for re-examination one month after hemorrhoidectomy and, if necessary, re-ligation. The patient then visits every month for complete removal of the hemorrhoid patches and one year after complete recovery the patient returns for re-evaluation to check for recurrence.
