Comparing two treatments for nosebleeds in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares coblation (a low-temperature method) and bipolar diathermy (a heat method) to stop stubborn nosebleeds in children. It aims to find which treatment works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 17 years old.
- Your child has had at least 4 nosebleeds in the past month, with at least one each week.
- The nosebleeds always come from the same nostril.
- Nosebleeds did not stop with antibiotic cream or silver nitrate treatment.
- Your child has no blood disorders (like hemophilia or leukemia), hasn't had nose surgery, and doesn't have conditions like hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for a nosebleed (epistaxis) that won't stop with simple pressure: tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, versus Blood Stopper (Ankaferd), a plant-based product that also stops bleeding. The goal is to see which works better in the emergency room.
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 trial compares two treatments for active nosebleeds: nasal packing (placing material in the nose) and a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near a nerve in the mouth). The goal is to see which works better for nosebleeds that don't stop with simple pressure.
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 study tests whether applying beta-sitosterol (a natural plant substance) to the inside of the nose helps stop nosebleeds better than plain Vaseline. If you have frequent nosebleeds without a known cause, this trial may offer a simple local treatment option.
This trial compares two gels—hyaluronic acid and petroleum jelly—to see which works better at stopping nosebleeds from the front of the nose. The goal is to find a simpler, non-invasive treatment that reduces bleeding and speeds healing.
