Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests treatments for serious sinus infections that have spread to the eye area. If you have this type of complication and haven't had prior sinus surgeries or certain conditions, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You cannot have had any previous face or jaw injury that required medical attention.
- You cannot have had any prior surgery on your nose or sinuses.

This study tests if a special light therapy can help prevent infections after sinus or nose surgeries. The treatment is given in addition to standard care and might lower the chance of needing more antibiotics.
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 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.
