Learn how the nose’s microbes relate to health and disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study explores the tiny living organisms (microbes) in your nose and how they may be linked to health problems. It may help researchers better understand disease triggers and potential new prevention or treatment ideas.

This study uses brain imaging and electrical recordings to understand the brain's role in smell loss from any cause—like COVID, sinus problems, or chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have any degree of smell loss lasting under a year.
This trial studies whether structured smell (olfactory) training can improve ongoing smell problems after COVID-19. It may help people whose sense of smell hasn’t fully returned long after the infection.
This study is looking at healthy people to understand how certain cells in the nose work. It will compare them to people with sinus problems to learn what goes wrong in chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps.
This study looks at the fluids from your nose to find unique markers that might help diagnose chronic rhinitis more accurately. By studying your nasal secretions, researchers hope to understand the condition better and develop better tests.
This study looks at how changes in a small area inside the nose (called the olfactory cleft) affect smell in people with chronic sinusitis. It aims to understand why some people with sinusitis have trouble smelling, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial tests if transplanting healthy nasal bacteria from a donor can help people with chronic sinusitis. It aims to restore a healthy microbiome in the nose to reduce symptoms like congestion and discharge.
