Oral Nifedipine Versus Placebo for Pain and Healing After Hemorrhoidectomy (NIFEDIPINE-HD)
2026年6月27日 更新者:Haitham Mohammed Jowah、Sana'a University
The Effect of Oral Nifedipine Versus Placebo on Postoperative Pain and Healing Following Hemorrhoidectomy in Adult Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Sana'a, Yemen
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether oral nifedipine reduces postoperative pain and improves wound healing after hemorrhoidectomy in adult patients aged 18-65 years undergoing elective surgery for grade III or IV hemorrhoids in Sana'a, Yemen.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does oral nifedipine 20 mg twice daily for 14 days reduce postoperative pain compared with placebo?
- Does oral nifedipine improve wound healing progression and shorten time to complete healing compared with placebo?
Researchers will compare the nifedipine group to the placebo group to see if there is a significant reduction in pain scores, faster wound healing, lower analgesic consumption, and fewer complications.
Participants will:
- Take either oral nifedipine 20 mg or an identical-looking placebo capsule twice daily for 14 consecutive days, starting 6 hours after surgery.
- Report pain intensity using a standard 0-10 Visual Analogue Scale at multiple time points during the first 28 days.
- Attend follow-up visits on postoperative days 7, 14, and 28 for wound healing assessment and safety monitoring.
- Use rescue analgesia (paracetamol and/or diclofenac) as needed for breakthrough pain.
研究概览
详细说明
Hemorrhoidal disease affects approximately 4.4% of the global population and is one of the most common anorectal conditions.
Post-hemorrhoidectomy pain remains the most significant complaint and barrier to recovery, often exceeding patient expectations and delaying return to daily activities.
The pathophysiology involves tissue trauma, inflammation, and internal anal sphincter spasm, which creates a cycle of pain and impaired healing.
Calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine reduce smooth muscle tone and improve local microcirculation, suggesting benefit in this context.
While topical calcium channel blockers have been studied, oral nifedipine offers advantages in compliance, predictable systemic delivery, and suitability for resource-limited settings such as Yemen.
This trial addresses a specific gap in evidence for oral nifedipine after hemorrhoidectomy.
