Bee venom with ultrasound for chronic sinusitis
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying bee venom to the skin with ultrasound (called phonophoresis) can help treat chronic sinusitis. If you have long-lasting sinus symptoms, this treatment might reduce inflammation and improve your symptoms.
