Popis: Background: Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is one of the commonest proctologic condition in the general population. Medical therapy for HD has not been formally confirmed due to the inconsistent of results. Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction, a kind of ancient Chinese classical prescription, has been used to treat HD from the 19th century in China. However, clinical research of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction in the treatment of HD is lack. We designed this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction in the treatment of HD. Methods/Design: A randomized, controlled, double blind, double-mimetic agent and multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction is proposed. HD patients (stage I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ) will be randomly assigned into Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction with the addition of Diosmine mimetic agent group and Diosmine with the addition of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction mimetic agent group. Patients will receive a 7-day treatments and a 7-day follow-up. The primary outcome measure is the French Bleeding Score in 7 and 14 days. The Secondary outcome measures are Goligher Prolapse Score and Quality-of-Life Score in 7 and 14 days. Discussion: This study will provide objective evidence to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction in treatment of HD. Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.
