Hemorrhoids are a very common anorectal disorder affecting a large portion of the global population, and significantly impairing quality of life. This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to assess the additional benefit of Negundium Q, a homoeopathic preparation in the management of Hemorrhoids along with Constitutional Homoeopathic treatment. Forty patients were enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups: a study group (n=20) receiving Negundium Q and a control group (n=20) receiving a placebo. Outcome measures include improvement in quality of life, evaluated using the Symptom Severity Score. Result demonstrated significant improvements in the anal symptoms, emotional function of those patients who have taken Negundium Q along with constitutional medicine than those who have been taken Constitutional medicine alone. Results indicate Negundium Q provides additional benefits in reducing hemorrhoid symptoms and improving quality of life, although more extensive research is needed.
