Recruiting studies
- NCT05719207Recruiting
Balloon treatment for long-lasting clogged ear tube symptoms
This trial tests whether balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube can improve symptoms like ear pressure, muffled hearing, pain, ringing, and popping. It’s for people whose symptoms have lasted for months (or are triggered by pressure changes) and haven’t improved with usual non-surgical treatments.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05275686RecruitingPhase 2
Fluticasone spray system for long-term ear pressure problems
This Phase 2 study tests a new way of delivering a steroid medicine (fluticasone) through the nose to treat eustachian tube dysfunction, which can cause ear pressure, popping, or discomfort. It may help by reducing swelling around the eustachian tube so the ear can drain and equalize pressure better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07193485Recruiting
Buteyko breathing for seniors with chronic ear tube blockage
This study tests whether a special breathing technique (Buteyko breathing) can help seniors with long-lasting Eustachian tube dysfunction that affects only one ear. It may offer a drug-free way to relieve ear pressure or discomfort.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 65–75 - NCT07236580Recruiting
Breathing exercises for teens with ear problems and smoke exposure
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help teenagers with a blocked eustachian tube (the tube that connects the ear to the throat) whose parents smoke. It aims to improve ear and lung function.
Giza, DokkiAges 13–17 - NCT04645511Recruiting
Balloon treatment for long-term or repeat maxillary sinusitis
This study tests whether balloon sinuplasty works better or more efficiently for people with long-lasting or repeatedly returning inflammation in the maxillary sinuses (side sinuses near your cheeks). It focuses on people who did not improve with the usual nose spray (topical steroid) or who meet specific “recurrent” episode patterns.
TampereAges 18–69 - NCT07071298Recruiting
AERA pediatrics registry study
This registry tracks children who have a procedure called endoscopic transforaminal balloon dilation (ETBD) using the AERA device. The goal is to learn more about how this treatment works for young patients.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for eustachian tube dysfunction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 6 recruiting eustachian tube dysfunction studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a eustachian tube dysfunction trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a eustachian tube dysfunction trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
