An interventional study of High frequency follow-up in Hemorrhoids, sponsored by The Affiliated Hospital of Putian University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-19.

This study aims to investigate whether frequent follow-ups can enhance the quality of life of patients after hemorrhoid surgery and reduce the incidence of complications. A total of 116 eligible patients were randomly and evenly divided into two groups (58 patients in each group): A. The control group: Patients received routine health education services upon discharge and were then followed up by phone at the regular frequency. B. The high-frequency group: Patients received routine health education services upon discharge and were then followed up by phone at a higher frequency. The quality of life of the patients and the incidence of complications were compared to evaluate the clinical effects of different intervention measures. The main hypothesis is that compared to conventional care, frequent follow-ups can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, promote wound healing, and reduce the incidence of complications and disease recurrence.

Patients received routine health education services at discharge and were enrolled in the sample data collection cluster. Patients were followed up by telephone by a trained medical team at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after discharge, and then every month until the end of the one-year follow-up period.
Behavioral: High frequency follow-up
Patients in the high-frequency group received regular follow-ups at a high frequency after discharge.
Quality-of-life SCORES
By evaluating the quality of life of patients, we proved the effectiveness of different frequency of follow-up methods in improving the quality of life of patients after hemorrhoids surgery.
Time frame: Baseline, weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, 48
pain score
The assessment is conducted using the Numerical Rating Scale for Pain (NRS), which requires patients to select an integer (whole number) from 0 to 10 that best describes their pain. 0 typically indicates "no pain", while 10 represents "the most severe pain imaginable".
Time frame: Baseline, Day 7, 14, 21, 28
Complication incidence
Record the recurrence of hemorrhoids and the occurrence of complications in the patients in the medium and long term. The complications mainly include: incision infection, wound bleeding, and urinary retention.
Time frame: Within six months after discharge
patient satisfaction
The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ-18) was used for measurement during the telephone follow-up period.
Time frame: Baseline, weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, 48
Plan to share: No — Based on a strict commitment to participant privacy protection, compliance with the terms of the ethical review protocol, and adherence to the sponsoring institution's policies, IPD from this study will not be shared at this time.
