Probiotic rinse to treat chronic sinus inflammation
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether washing your sinuses with a probiotic solution can improve chronic sinusitis symptoms and inflammation. It’s for adults with chronic sinus symptoms that have flared, especially if you’ve had sinus surgery in the past.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You have chronic sinusitis with a recent flare-up—worse nasal blockage, discharge, facial pressure/pain, or reduced sense of smell—plus endoscopy findings showing inflammation and/or infection.
- You had functional endoscopic sinus surgery more than 12 months ago, and your treating clinician believes your sinuses are suitable for this trial.
- You are willing and able to follow the study plan, including filling out questionnaires during the study.
- You agree to sign informed consent after learning the purpose and procedures of the study.
- You are not currently using (or won’t stop) topical antibiotic sinus rinses, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding (if applicable).
