Clinical evaluation of efficacy of Pilief Tablet and Pilief Ointment in the treatment of Piles
Abstract
Piles, or haemorrhoids, are a common affliction that affects a significant portion of the population and is often characterized by painful symptoms that can greatly impact quality of life. Despite the availability of various pharmacological treatments, there is a growing interest in alternative therapies, particularly herbal remedies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a combined Pilief Tablet and Ointment in the treatment of piles. A total of 100 participants diagnosed with mild to moderate piles were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial and were treated with the Pilief Tablet and Ointment combination for six weeks. Primary outcomes included the reduction of symptoms, measured through a standardized symptoms score, and secondary outcomes included any adverse effects and quality of life assessments. Results indicated a significant reduction in symptoms and improvement in quality of life among participants. This study supports the potential of Pilief Tablet and Pilief Ointment treatments as effective options in managing piles.
