BRIGHT is a Europe-wide study that will follow up to 250 adults with bleeding symptoms from haemmorhoids (Grade II-III categories). It aims to understand how well a minimally invasive procedure called haemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) works in everyday clinical practice, which is a technique that blocks the blood vessels feeding the haemorrhoids. As this technique does not require major surgery, HAE offers several benefits such as less trauma, quicker recovery, and the use of only local anaesthesia.

| Haemorrhoid artery embolizsation (HAE) | Procedure | Haemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat symptomatic haemorrhoids by reducing their blood supply. Under imaging guidance, typically fluoroscopy, a catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the groin or wrist and guided into the arteries that supply the haemorrhoidal tissue, known as the superior rectal arteries. Once the target vessels are identified, embolization coils-tiny metal coils designed to block blood flow-are placed inside these arteries. The coils create a controlled blockage, decreasing blood flow to the haemorrhoids, which helps shrink the swollen tissue and reduce bleeding. HAE is usually performed as an day-case procedure under local anaesthesia with mild sedation, and tends to result in less pain, quicker recovery, and lower complication rates compared to surgical approaches. |

The 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess the intensity of a symptom such as pain, discomfort, or bleeding. It consists of a straight, 10-centimeter horizontal line with two anchored endpoints: 0 cm = no symptom, and 10 cm = worst imaginable symptom. Participants mark a point on the line that best represents the severity of their symptom at the time of assessment. This will be measured at 1 day, 1- and 3-months after the treatment.
| 1 day, 1- and 3-months post treatment, compared to baseline |
| Patient-reported Pain measured by Analgesic intake | Analgesic intake refers to the use of any pain-relief medication taken to manage haemorrhoid-related discomfort after HAE. This includes over-the-counter or prescribed agents such as acetaminophen/paracetamol or NSAIDs. Participants will be recorded as having taken analgesics if they use any pain medication for haemorrhoid symptoms during the specified time frame. | 1 day, 1- and 3-months post treatment |
| Frequency and severity of procedural complications and other adverse events | The severity of complications and procedure-related adverse events will be graded according to the Clavian Dindo classification system. | Within 3 months after the HAE procedure |
| Functional recovery | Measured as the number of days until the patient is fit enough to return to work or other usual daily activities. | From the procedure date until the patient returns to work or usual daily activities (Number of days) |
| Freedom from recurrence | Defined as the proportion of patients with cured or improved symptoms as described in the HubBle Trial. | 1, 3, 12 and 24 months |
| Clinical appearance of haemorrhoids | Evaluated at proctoscopy at 12 months if done per SOC or following recurrence requiring further intervention. | 12 months |
| Patient-reported symptoms | Evaluated using the Haemorrhoids Severity Score at the specified time points below compared to baseline. | 3, 12 and 24 months |
| Patient-reported continence | Assessed using the Vaizey Incontinence Score at the specified time points below compared to baseline. | 3 months |
| Patient-reported health-related quality-of-life | Measured by EuroQol Five-Dimension, Five-Level Questionnaire (EuroQol EQ-5D-5L) at the specified time points below compared to baseline. It is a standardized, participant-reported measure of health-related quality of life that assesses five dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression-each rated on five levels of severity: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems/unable to perform. Higher EQ-5D-5L index values indicate better overall health status, while lower scores reflect poorer health, greater symptom burden, or more functional impairment. | 1 day, 1-, 3-, 12- and 24-months |
