Erythromycin ultrasound for chronic sinusitis
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying the antibiotic erythromycin to the skin over your sinuses using ultrasound (called phonophoresis) can help reduce inflammation from chronic rhinosinusitis. You may be eligible if you have long-term sinus problems without certain other conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (long-term sinus inflammation).
- A CT scan shows that your maxillary sinus (one of the sinus pockets) is affected.
- You do not have a pacemaker, are not pregnant, and have not had cancer, polyps, or severe allergies.
- You have not had nose or face surgery, fractures, or birth defects in that area.

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 trial tests two treatments—light therapy or pulsed magnetic fields—to see if they improve quality of life for adults with chronic sinusitis. It may help if your symptoms are mild to moderate and you have allergies.
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 Phase 3 trial tests whether the antibiotic azithromycin can improve chronic sinus problems where there is persistent pus and swelling. It’s for adults who have not improved despite at least two prior antibiotics.
