Summary
This completed Phase 3 trial tested two doses of Botox (20 vs 50 units) injected into the anal sphincter to treat chronic anal fissures in 70 adults. The goal was to see which dose better heals the fissure, reduces pain, and allows a quicker return to daily activities. Researchers followed participants for one year to check healing and side effects like incontinence.
