Low-temperature radiofrequency to reshape nose cartilage
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new low-temperature radiofrequency treatment that remodels nasal cartilage during nose surgery, which may help improve breathing and shape without extra cuts. It aims to make the surgery more effective for people having functional or cosmetic nose jobs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at cartilage from the nose and ear that is usually thrown away during surgery. The goal is to learn more about it so that doctors can improve how they rebuild the nose in future patients.
This trial compares two surgical methods to reshape the tip of the nose. It aims to see which technique gives better results for people with nasal tip deformities.
This trial tests a surgical technique that uses your own nasal cartilage to improve the shape and position of your nasal tip. It's for people having their first rhinoplasty (nose job) for cosmetic or breathing reasons.
This study compares two ways of using cartilage from inside the nose to fix a droopy or uneven nasal tip during rhinoplasty (nose reshaping). It may help people who want cosmetic improvement of their nose tip.
This study tracks how patients feel and function after nose surgery that uses a piece of cartilage (septal extension graft) to reshape the nose. Researchers want to understand both the benefits and any complications to improve future care.
This trial tests a new device called REFLEX ULTRA 45 that uses radiofrequency energy to shrink the nasal turbinates (the fleshy shelves inside your nose) to help you breathe easier. It is for people with long-term nasal stuffiness who have not gotten relief from nasal sprays.
