Tested ways to treat severe nosebleeds after failed packing
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at different management strategies for severe nosebleeds when the initial packing method has not worked for over 48 hours. It also measures the cost/benefit of these approaches to help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older with severe nosebleeds that did not stop after double packing for more than 48 hours
- You are covered by France’s social security system (or are a beneficiary)
- You are willing to be assigned by chance (randomization) to one of the management strategies
- You can give free, informed written consent before any study tests
- Your nosebleed is not caused by facial or recent surgical injury, and not by a cancer-related tumor
- You have not had prior procedures to block or stop bleeding (ligation or embolization) for this problem

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special nasal packing (a soft material placed in the nose) stops nosebleeds better than the usual treatment. It may help people who come to the emergency room with a nosebleed that won't stop.
This trial tests whether a plant-based ointment (B-sitosterol) applied inside the nose works better than a standard petroleum jelly to reduce recurring nosebleeds. If you have frequent nosebleeds without an obvious cause, this treatment might help you.
This trial tests a new topical gel (TOR-582) applied inside the nose to reduce nosebleeds in people with HHT. It may help by targeting the abnormal blood vessels that cause frequent bleeding.
This study compares two ways to stop frequent nosebleeds in children who have not been helped by simpler treatments. Children will get one of two minor procedures to seal the tiny blood vessel in the nose that keeps bleeding, and the study will see which works better and is safer.
This study compares two treatments for stubborn nosebleeds: packing the nose with gauze or a numbing injection in the roof of the mouth to stop bleeding. It aims to see which method works better for people whose nosebleed won't stop with simple pressure.
This trial tests whether a powder form of tranexamic acid can stop nosebleeds faster in people who come to the emergency room with active bleeding. It may offer a new option if standard treatments don't work well.
