acetaminophen and Fissure in Ano

acetaminophen has been researched along with Fissure in Ano in 2 studies

Acetaminophen: Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
paracetamol : A member of the class of phenols that is 4-aminophenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group has been replaced by an acetyl group.

Fissure in Ano: A painful linear tear at the margin of the anus. It appears as a crack or slit in the mucous membrane of the anus and is very painful and difficult to heal.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity at Days 14-18

"Participants rated the pain associated with their chronic anal fissure over the preceding 24 hours on a 100 mm visual analog scale at Baseline and on Days 14 through 18. The average pain rating on Days 14 through 18 was calculated and used to determine the change from Baseline. The left-end of the visual analog scale was labelled least possible pain and the right-end of the visual analog scale was labelled worst possible pain. The pain rating ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating more pain. A negative change score indicated improvement." (NCT00522041)
Timeframe: Baseline to Day 18

Percentage of Responders

"Participants rated the pain associated with their chronic anal fissure over the preceding 24 hours on a 100 mm visual analog scale at Baseline and on Days 14 through 18. The average pain rating on Days 14 through 18 was calculated. The left-end of the visual analog scale was labelled least possible pain and the right-end of the visual analog scale was labelled worst possible pain. The pain rating ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating more pain. A responder was defined as a participant with either a ≥ 50% decrease or a ≥ 10 mm decrease from Baseline in the 24 hour average pain intensity averaged over Days 14 to 18." (NCT00522041)

Time to an Improvement in Pain Intensity

"Participants rated the pain associated with their chronic anal fissure over the preceding 24 hours on a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) at Baseline and on each of the 21 treatment days of the study. The left-end of the visual analog scale was labelled least possible pain and the right-end of the visual analog scale was labelled worst possible pain. The pain rating ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating more pain. Improvement was defined as either a ≥ 50% decrease or a ≥ 10 mm decrease from Baseline in rated pain intensity."
