Anal lift exercise for recovery after anal fistula surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing a special exercise (called anal lift exercise) can help you recover better after surgery for anal fistula. It may improve healing and reduce discomfort after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.

This trial tests a special recovery program after surgery for common non-cancerous anal conditions like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or fistulas. The goal is to see if this approach helps you heal faster and feel better.
This study compares two surgical techniques (fistula rerouting and LIFT) for treating a high perianal fistula, a tunnel that forms in the muscle around the anus. It aims to find which method works better for people with this condition.
This trial studies whether doing Kegel exercises with biofeedback (a technique that helps you see how your muscles are working) can improve bowel function, reduce emotional distress, and boost quality of life after rectal cancer surgery.
This study compares three different surgical methods for treating a type of anal fistula that passes through the sphincter muscle. It aims to find which technique is most effective and safe, which could help patients recover with less pain or risk.
This study looks at whether the timing of surgery for an anal fistula affects healing and whether it comes back. If you are planning surgery for a first-time fistula, you may be able to join and help doctors learn the best time to operate.
