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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is a registry that tracks how well treatments work for people with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. By joining, you help doctors learn which therapies lead to better control and possibly remission of symptoms over time.
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 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.
This study looks at how abnormalities in the smell area (olfactory cleft) affect smell in people with chronic rhinosinusitis. You'll have smell tests before and after sinus surgery to see if the surgery helps.
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 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.
