Multicentrique Prospective Evaluation of Radiofrequency Surgical Treatment

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Hemorrhoids consist of a tissue rich in blood vessels and are present in all individuals inside the anus. Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is when hemorrhoids become troublesome and cause symptoms such as pain, bleeding, prolapse or seepage.

The first steps in the treatment of HD involve either drugs or instrumental gestures (sclerosis, ligation). In the event of failure or of a disease that is significant from the outset, it is possible to envisage a surgical treatment.

The use of a radiofrequency is a new technique, already used frequently by vascular surgeons in the treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs. This technique has been developed for radiofrequency destruction of hemorrhoidal vascular tissue.

In France, no studies have been carried out to evaluate this new technique.

Clinical Trial Description

Hemorrhoids consist of a tissue rich in blood vessels and are present in all individuals inside the anus (internal hemorrhoids). Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is when hemorrhoids become troublesome and cause symptoms such as pain, bleeding, prolapse or seepage.

The first steps in the treatment of HD involve either drugs or instrumental gestures (sclerosis, ligation). In the event of failure or of a disease that is significant from the outset, it is possible to envisage a surgical treatment.

The use of a radiofrequency current (Rafaelo technique) in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease is a new technique, already used frequently by vascular surgeons in the treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs. This technique has been developed for radiofrequency destruction of hemorrhoidal vascular tissue.

Although radiofrequency destruction of hemorrhoidal vascular tissue is already used in other European countries such as Poland, Germany, Belgium and Great Britain, there are very few studies on this minimally invasive surgical technique. This is particularly the case in France where no studies have been carried out to evaluate this new technique. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
