Zuoqing San for anal fistula wound healing
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a traditional Chinese medicine called Zuoqing San can help heal the wound after anal fistula surgery better by reducing certain inflammatory processes. It may be an option for people who have had surgery for a simple anal fistula and whose wound is a specific size.
