BackgroundHemorrhoids are a common and seriously disruptive condition that seriously affects people's lives in terms of treatment. Injection therapy is an effective minimally invasive scheme for the treatment of grade II-III hemorrhoids, but its clinical application is limited by the adverse reactions caused by injection drugs. Some clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy and safety of Shaobei injection as a traditional Chinese medicine extract. However, there is no standard randomized controlled study to verify its efficacy and explore its potential mechanism.MethodsThis is a prospective, randomized, single blind, parallel controlled trial to study the efficacy of Shaobei injection in the treatment of grade II-III hemorrhoids and its effect on the expression of fibulin-3 and fibulin-5 in fibulin protein family. The patients will be randomly divided into a treatment group and control group. The treatment group will be treated with Shaobei injection, and the control group will be treated with rubber band ligation. The observation indexes include: visual analysis scale, postoperative hospital stay, total use of painkillers, fibulin-3 and fibulin-5, hemorrhoids recurrence, and adverse events. Finally, the data will be statistically analyzed by SPASS 18.0 software.DiscussionThis study will compare the efficacy of Shaobei injection with the rubber band ligation method in the treatment of grade II-III haemorrhoids and investigate its effect on the expression of fibulin-3 and fibulin-5 in the fibulin protein family. The results of this study will provide a basis for the clinical use of Paeoniflora injection as an alternative to traditional sclerosing agent in the treatment of grade II-III haemorrhoids.Trial registration: OSF Registration number:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MKVDB.Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
