Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Two groups: patients with hemorrhoidal syndrome is submitted to the pumping technique of the liver (Group 1) and patients with syndrome hemorrhoidal those who perform a maneuver placeblo (Group 2):

Group 1:
Subject position: supine (Tredelemburg) with knees bent
Position of Therapist: Standing at the patient's left, at the height of the abdomen.

Hand position:
The left hand goes below the costal margin to lift the chest wall
The right hand rests on the lower right side of the chest to compress the liver through the chest wall.

Running technique
The bottom hand up the ribs while the top has a compression
The manipulation is done by following the movement
breathing. In this study technique asking the patient to breathe deeply, during expiration to compress costal with our hands and let our contacts deep breath.
Be repeated for 10 respiratory cycles, the technique will last for 2 minutes.
Intervention code [1] 269441 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
Group 2: Maneuver placebo: Ask the patient to breathe, our lower and upper hand accompany respiratory motion without exerting any pressure on the rib cage.
Be repeated for 10 respiratory cycles, the technique will last for 2 minutes.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 279684 0
Demonstrate the variation of portal venous flow after technical
liver pumping hemorrhoidal syndrome Doppler ultrasound
Timepoint [1] 279684 0
Baseline
Secondary outcome [1] 294202 0
Determine differences vertebrae algometer pre and postintervention. Using a pressure algometer to measure pain intensity in the cervical and thoracic spinous processes.
The algometer is a measuring device calibrated with a pressure of 1 cm2 circular base, so that measurements are given in Kg/cm2 or Newton (Nw)

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
This trial is is randomised controlled trial.
Participants who meet the inclusion criteria were divided into groups through random sampling sealed envelope. Will be prepared "X" envelopes, which half will be the number 1 and half the number 2. Are mixed, and participants randomly removed, being removed from the rest chosen on envelopes. Be so formed two groups: an intervention group and a control group.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
This trial use simple randomisation. Are mixed, and participants randomly removed, being removed from the rest chosen on envelopes. Be so formed two groups: an intervention group and a control group.
Ultimately obtained two groups: patients with hemorrhoidal syndrome is submitted to the pumping technique of the liver (Group 1) and patients with syndrome hemorrhoidal those who perform a maneuver placebo (Group 2)
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
A randomized clinical trial, ie an experimental study
intervention and random assignment (randomized) prospective,
longitudinal.
It aims to conduct a randomized clinical trial design
explanatory in nature, so experimental, triple blind, blind.
The masking technique used is the triple-blind
assessor blind strategy, the individual in any known
technique or group membership control or intervention, and
as the statistic ignores the subject's group assignment. On the other hand, there is any relationship between the evaluator and the
controller, giving this area more strength to the study.

Summary
Brief summary
For this study subjects were taken hemorrhoidal syndrome. Through ultrasound flow measurement algometry portal and the thoracic and cervical intended objectify the impact of pumping technique on liver portal flow.
So our hypothesis is that the osteopathic treatment of liver improves the speed of the portal vein flow, measured Doppler ultrasound, and modifies the tenderness of the vertebra cervical thoracic and correspondence, as measured algometry pressure.
