An interventional study of Latex Band and Non-Latex Band in Hemorrhoid and Hemorrhoid Bleeding, sponsored by Huntington Memorial Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-17.
Sponsored by Huntington Memorial Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will involve the recruitment of adult patients with hemorrhoids for whom rubber band ligation is the recommended treatment. Patients will be randomized to receive banding with a latex band or non-latex band. Our goal will be to measure the performance of latex bands vs non-latex bands.
This study will involve the recruitment of adult patients with symptomatic grade 2-3 internal hemorrhoids for whom rubber band ligation is the recommended treatment. Patients will be randomized to receive banding with a latex band or non-latex band. Our hypothesis is that non-latex hemorrhoidal bands are non-inferior to latex bands for the treatment of grade 2-3 internal hemorrhoids.
The secondary objective of the study is to compare banding-related adverse effects including pain, bleeding, and complications assessed both immediately and within 3 weeks following each hemorrhoidal banding.
238 studies on the registry are indexed under Hemorrhoids; 73 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 164 is above the median of 100 across 183 interventional studies indexed under Hemorrhoids.
