Clinical trials

This randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Nimsai Herbal, a proprietary oral phytotherapeutic formulation, in 50 participants aged 18-70 years with endoscopically confirmed Grade 2-3 internal hemorrhoids. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Nimsai Herbal (600 mg) or identical placebo once daily for 10 consecutive days. The primary endpoint is hemorrhoid regression at Day 10, defined as either a reduction in Goligher grade or a ≥75% reduction in composite hemorrhoid severity score. Secondary endpoints include change in symptom severity measured by Visual Analog Scale and complete symptom resolution rate. The study is designed as a mechanistic signal-detection investigation based on the War-Drill Model, which posits venous congestion as the primary initiating event in hemorrhoid pathogenesis.
