Botox vs Botox with surgery for chronic anal fissure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for a long-lasting anal fissure: Botox injections alone versus Botox combined with a small surgery (fissurectomy and anoplasty). It aims to see which works better and may help patients who have not healed with standard care.

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 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 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 whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the rectum can improve bowel control in people with active fecal incontinence. It aims to help those who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like diet changes or pelvic floor therapy.
This trial tests a one-time injection of botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the bottom muscle to help children who have frequent, stubborn bowel leakage. It aims to see if relaxing the muscle can reduce accidents.
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.
