ORal Aminaphtone and Combined LidocainE

This observational study, called ORACLE (ORal Aminaphtone and Combined LidocainE), is being conducted at Treviso Regional Hospital (Italy) to evaluate the effectiveness of a first-line treatment for patients with internal hemorrhoidal disease (HD). The study focuses on a combination therapy using an oral drug, aminaphtone (Capillarema®), and a topical cream with lidocaine (Octosedan®), compared to standard conservative care.

Patients will be followed for 30 days. The main goal is to measure how much the combination treatment improves hemorrhoidal symptoms compared to the standard treatment. This will be assessed using a score called HDSS (Hemorrhoidal Disease Symptom Score). The study will also evaluate quality of life using a specific questionnaire (SHS-HD) and assess how well patients tolerate the treatment. About 50 adult patients will take part, divided into two consecutive groups of 25 each. The study does not involve random assignment or bl…
