Comparing Stenting Methods in Frontal Sinus Surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using a soft tube (stent) in the frontal sinuses during sinus surgery to see which works better. It is for people with chronic sinus problems who need a Frontal drill-out procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (long-term sinus inflammation).
- You need a specific type of surgery called Frontal drill-out to open your frontal sinuses.
- You are willing and able to follow the study's instructions, including follow-up visits.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the area where the surgery will happen.

This study looks at how endoscopic sinus surgery affects people with cystic fibrosis who have ongoing sinus problems even after medical treatments. It may help doctors understand whether surgery plus ongoing care improves symptoms and quality of life.
This trial studies whether placing a steroid nasal cream inside your sinus area can reduce symptoms in people with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) even after sinus surgery. It may help lower ongoing inflammation and symptoms for those who still feel unwell despite usual medical treatments.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques to open the frontal sinuses in people with chronic sinusitis. The goal is to see which approach works better to help patients breathe easier and reduce symptoms.
This study tests a new sinus stent that slowly releases medicine to treat chronic sinusitis in both nostrils. The goal is to see if it helps reduce symptoms and inflammation better than usual care.
This study tests a special nose dressing that slowly releases a steroid to reduce inflammation and improve healing after sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps.
This trial compares different ways of using a thin, lighted scope (endoscope) to reach and treat growths in the sphenoid sinus, a deep air pocket behind your nose. It may help if you have a sinus or nasal growth that needs surgical removal.
