Comparing two sinus surgery methods for chronic sinusitis
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two treatments for chronic sinusitis: ultrasound therapy (sound waves applied to the face) and sinus massage (gentle pressure on the face). Both are non-drug options that may help relieve your symptoms.
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 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 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 two treatments for chronic sinusitis: one uses sound waves to deliver a steroid (dexamethasone) through the skin, and the other uses laser acupuncture. It aims to see which works better for reducing symptoms like congestion, facial pain, and reduced sense of smell.
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.
