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.
