How a deviated septum affects sinus size and sinusitis risk
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses CT scans to see if a deviated nasal septum changes the size of your maxillary sinuses and raises your chance of getting sinusitis. If you already have a high-quality CT scan of your sinuses, your images may help researchers learn more about this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You already have a high-quality CT scan of your sinuses (with top, side, and front views)
- Your scan clearly shows the key landmarks in your nose and sinuses
- You have not had any nose, sinus, or face surgery
- You have not had any major face injury or fractures
- You do not have any sinus tumors, polyps, or large cysts
- You do not have a congenital condition like cleft palate or other head/neck syndromes

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a harmless variation in the shape of a small bone inside your nose (the inferior turbinate) by reviewing CT scans already taken for other reasons. It aims to understand how common this variation is and whether it relates to other sinus or nasal findings.
This study tests a specialized way of measuring how your nasal lining responds in people with chronic rhinosinusitis (long-lasting sinus inflammation). The goal is to see whether the nasal measurement is usable and safe, and to help better understand chronic sinus disease.
This study uses computer modeling to understand nasal breathing. It compares people without nasal symptoms and those with chronic nasal blockage from a deviated septum, to see if modeling can help diagnose the cause.
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.
This study looks at old dental CT scans to measure the sinuses and a canal in the roof of the mouth. It may help future procedures in that area.
This study looks at tissue samples taken during nose or sinus surgery to better understand how these tissues vary. It may help researchers learn more about conditions affecting the nose and sinuses.
