Symptomatic Hemorrhoidal Disease

This single-center, prospective, parallel-group, 1:1 randomized controlled trial compares standardized verbal counseling with AI-assisted written patient information in adults with symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease receiving initial conservative/medical treatment. The primary objective is to determine whether AI-assisted written information improves complete treatment adherence at day 14. Secondary objectives include quality-of-life change, Patient Global Impression of Change, time to symptom improvement, change in pain/discomfort scores, change in bleeding, swelling, itching, and soiling symptoms, and unplanned repeat healthcare visits.
