How Perianal Disease Affects Sexual Health and Quality of Life
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study explores how chronic perianal conditions—like anal fistulas or pilonidal disease—affect patients' sexual function and relationships. Researchers will ask you to complete surveys about your symptoms and sexual health to better understand this impact and help future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with chronic perianal disease (such as fistula-in-ano, pilonidal disease, or similar condition affecting the area around the anus)
- You are 18 years old or older
- You can read and understand Greek, as the study uses Greek-language questionnaires
- You are able to complete written surveys about your sexual health and quality of life
- You do not have active colorectal or anal cancer

This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
This study focuses on people 18 and older who have a perianal abscess that needs surgical treatment. It aims to improve how these abscesses are diagnosed and managed, including care around surgery.
This study tests a device called BioHealx for closing anal fistulas that have not healed after previous treatment. It aims to see how well the device works in real-world use.
This study uses a computer model to predict whether a first-time perianal abscess could lead to an anal fistula after drainage surgery. If you participate, researchers will collect your health data to help improve care for future patients.
This trial tests a drug called risankizumab (Skyrizi) for people whose Crohn's disease has led to anal fistulas that haven't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if risankizumab can help these fistulas heal and stop draining.
This trial tests a new treatment for a type of anal fistula that keeps coming back after surgery. It uses special procedures to clean the fistula tract and then inject a concentrate of your own blood (called PRGF) to help it heal. The goal is to close the fistula without cutting the muscle.
