Nerve-stimulation treatment for chronic anal fissure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies a procedure called percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation to help heal chronic anal fissure. It may help people whose fissures have not improved with standard (conservative) treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of anal fissure from an experienced specialist.
- You have tried all recommended non-surgery treatments (conservative treatment) and they did not fully work.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis).
- You do not have an anal abscess or a fistula (an abnormal tunnel).
- You are not pregnant and you are medically able to safely take part in the procedure.
- You do not have certain conditions/devices or treatments, such as a pacemaker/defibrillator, prior pelvic radiation, or the need for blood thinners (anti-coagulants), except aspirin.

This trial studies a “combined” treatment approach for people who have had an anal fissure (a small tear in the anal area) for a long time. It may help reduce pain and improve healing, but you must meet specific safety rules to join.
This trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
This trial tests a new combined surgical method for people with a chronic anal fissure (a small tear in the skin around the anus) that has not healed and is causing muscle spasms. The goal is to see if this surgery can help the fissure heal and relieve pain and spasm.
This trial tests a surgery called lateral internal sphincterotomy for chronic anal fissures. It aims to see if the surgery helps heal the tear and relieve pain.
This study compares two surgical approaches to treat chronic anal fissures (painful tears in the anus) that haven't healed with conservative treatment. The goal is to determine which technique is safer and more effective.
This trial tests a new treatment made from special cells (called E-CEL UVEC) for people with long-lasting anal fissures that haven't healed with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this cell-based therapy can reduce pain and help the fissure heal.
