Comparison of two procedures to stop frequent nosebleeds in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have already tried antibiotic ointment or chemical cautery (silver nitrate) without success
- The bleeding is from a specific area inside the nose (the front part of the nasal septum)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
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 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 study compares two similar surgical techniques for treating enlarged nasal turbinates, which are small structures inside the nose that can block airflow. The goal is to find which technique gives better long-term relief from nasal congestion.
