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 trial tests if rinsing the sinuses with a mixture of povidone-iodine (an antiseptic) and budesonide (a steroid) after endoscopic sinus surgery can improve outcomes for people with chronic sinusitis.
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 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 steroid-releasing implant placed during sinus surgery to help prevent inflammation and improve healing in patients with chronic sinus infections. If you're having sinus surgery in Japan, this trial may track how well the implant works for you.
This study tests a numbing medication (bupivacaine with epinephrine) injected during your first sinus surgery to see if it helps reduce pain after the procedure. It may be an option if you have not had sinus surgery before and are generally healthy.
