U.S., Sept. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07813338) titled 'Pudendal Nerve Block Techniques for Pain Control After Hemorrhoidectomy' on Aug. 17.
Brief Summary: Hemorrhoidectomy is frequently associated with severe postoperative pain despite multimodal analgesia. Ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block has become an effective regional analgesic technique, but it remains unknown whether blockade performed proximally at the ischial spine provides superior analgesia compared with the more distal transperineal approach.
The PINPOINT Trial is a prospective randomized assessor-blinded superiority trial comparing ultrasound-guided transgluteal (proximal) and transperineal (distal) pudendal nerve bl...
