Using navigation to improve balloon sinus surgery accuracy
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a navigation system during balloon sinus surgery makes the procedure more accurate for people with chronic sinusitis. It may help improve outcomes for those who have not had sinus surgery before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for your first sinus surgery to treat chronic sinusitis in the maxillary sinuses
- You do not have nasal polyps
- You have tried medications or other non-surgical treatments that did not work
- You have not had sinus surgery before

This study looks at how people with long-term sinus problems decide whether to have sinus surgery. Researchers want to understand what matters most to patients when choosing treatment.
This trial tests a balloon coated with a medicine (paclitaxel) to treat chronic sinusitis. It may help reduce inflammation and improve sinus drainage in adults with long-lasting sinus problems.
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.
This trial tests a more thorough sinus surgery combined with removing lymphoid tissue in the throat to see if it helps people with nasal polyps. Researchers want to know if this approach reduces inflammation and improves symptoms.
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 study tests a steroid-releasing implant placed during sinus surgery to help prevent inflammation and improve healing in patients with chronic sinus infections. If you're having sinus surgery in Japan, this trial may track how well the implant works for you.
