Chapter 6 162 Clinical guidelines of leading societies do not recommend PFPT as a treatment option for CAF. Our findings provide strong evidence that PFPT is effective in the treatment of CAF and pelvic floor dysfunction. PFPT has no side-effects, low potential for complications, and low costs. Conclusions Our findings confirm that PFPT is effective in patients with CAF and concomitant pelvic floor dysfunction in improving pelvic floor muscle tone and function, healing of the fissure, reducing pain and complaint reduction. This study provides evidence that PFPT can be used as adjuvant treatment in CAF and pelvic floor dysfunction besides regular conservative treatment.
