Nasal cartilage reshaping trial for better breathing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a low-temperature radiofrequency device to remodel nasal cartilage during surgery, aiming to improve nasal airflow. It is for adults undergoing nose surgery for function or appearance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Undergoing nose surgery to improve breathing or appearance
- May have ear cartilage taken during surgery
- Have not had previous nose surgery
- Have not had radiation to the head or neck
- Do not have a hole in the nasal septum

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 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 collects tiny leftover pieces of nose or ear cartilage that are normally thrown away during surgery. Researchers will study these samples to help improve future nose reconstruction surgeries. Your regular surgery won't change at all.
This trial looks at how well an external septorhinoplasty (surgery to improve the nasal passage) works for people with long-term nasal blockage. It mainly involves filling out questionnaires so the researchers can analyze outcomes over time.
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.
This study compares a newer, less invasive type of nose surgery (disarticulation septoplasty) to the traditional open approach for fixing a crooked nasal septum that causes breathing problems. It wants to see which method works better.
