Prevention of Rebleeding in Colonic Diverticular Bleeding Using Orengedokuto: Protocol for a Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic hemostasis is used to treat colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB); however, rebleeding is frequently observed after conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS: If orengedokuto demonstrates a hemostatic effect, it could offer a less invasive alternative to endoscopic hemostasis, potentially reducing hospital stays and overall health care resource use.
