How patients decide about sinus surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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 compares two types of endoscopic sinus surgery to treat chronic sinusitis that affects the frontal sinuses. The goal is to see which method works better for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.
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 changes in a small area inside the nose (called the olfactory cleft) affect smell in people with chronic sinusitis. It aims to understand why some people with sinusitis have trouble smelling, which could lead to better treatments.
This study is a registry that collects information from people with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) to test new criteria for measuring how well the disease is controlled, if it goes into remission, or if it's cured. It's a real-world study, meaning it looks at how treatments work in everyday life, and participation just involves providing data over time.
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.
