MPFF for hemorrhoids undergoing minimally invasive procedures
Official title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction (MPFF) as Part of the Conservative Therapy and Impact on Quality of Life and Satisfaction With Treatment in the Real-life Clinical Practice in Patients With Haemorrhoids Undergoing Minimally Invasive Surgical Interventions
Run by Servier Russia · NCT07647172 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) helps people with chronic hemorrhoids who are having minimally invasive surgery feel better and have a smoother recovery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 18 with Goligher grade 2–3 chronic hemorrhoids scheduled for a minimally invasive hemorrhoid procedure and not recently treated with venoactive drugs.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not use MPFF or who have different treatment plans may not experience any additional benefit from MPFF in this setting.

What this trial studies
This is an observational study in real-world clinical practice. It records how MPFF is used alongside standard care for adults with grade 2–3 chronic hemorrhoids undergoing laser, dearterialization, or combined procedures. The study does not require changes to usual treatment decisions and follows existing guidelines and medical-use instructions. Data collected include treatment details, quality of life, satisfaction, and any changes in therapy as determined by the treating physician. The aim is to see how MPFF affects outcomes in routine care, not to test a new experimental intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If MPFF shows positive use in this setting, patients may experience improved symptoms and quality of life after minimally invasive hemorrhoid procedures.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar real-world settings suggest potential benefits of MPFF for hemorrhoids, but evidence from observational practice remains limited.
