Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain. Timepoint: 0,1,6,12 weeks. Method of measurement: Improvement of post-defecation anal pain based on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS): Changes in pain scores were measured at baseline (i.e., before the start of the study) and at 1, 6, and 12 weeks after the start of the study. Pain was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain. | — |
