How a crooked nasal septum affects sinus size and infections
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses CT scans to look at how a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) affects the size of your sinus cavities and whether it's linked to sinus infections. If you have a CT scan already, this research could help doctors better understand sinus problems without any extra tests or treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need to have a CT scan of your sinuses already done, with clear images showing the nasal area.
- The CT scan must be high quality so the doctor can measure your septum and sinus spaces.
- You must not have had any previous nose, sinus, or face surgery.
- You must not have had any facial trauma or fractures affecting your nose or sinuses.
- You must not have nasal tumors, polyps, or large cysts, or any genetic facial conditions.
