Light therapy to prevent infections after sinus or nose surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
