Testing AAR for nasal obstruction surgery decisions
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple device that measures your breathing (AAR) is reliable enough to help doctors decide if surgery is needed for nasal obstruction. It looks at patients who already plan to have surgery to see if this test matches what the surgeon finds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have nasal obstruction (feeling of stuffiness or blockage).
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix your nasal obstruction (septoplasty, turbinoplasty, or rhinoplasty).
- You had a breathing test (rhinomanometry) before surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 study looks at how thick or thin your nasal fluids are and checks for certain allergy/immune cells in your nose during surgery. It helps doctors understand the type of inflammation you have, which may guide better treatments.
This trial is testing a tool called a patient decision aid to help people with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis (long-term nasal swelling) make better choices about their surgery. You will be asked to use the aid and share your thoughts.
This study compares two similar surgical techniques for treating enlarged nasal turbinates, which are small structures inside the nose that can block airflow. The goal is to find which technique gives better long-term relief from nasal congestion.
