Steroid nose drops for smell loss in chronic sinusitis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if steroid drops placed directly in the nose can improve smell in people with chronic sinusitis and a blocked smell area. It may help if you have had smell loss and sinus inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and have lost your sense of smell.
- A smell test shows you have reduced (but not no) smell (hyposmia) or no smell (anosmia).
- A CT scan shows a blockage in the small area in your nose that detects odors.
- You have not used steroid pills in the last 4 weeks or steroid nose sprays in the last 2 weeks.

This study tests whether using steroid nose drops combined with smell training helps people who lost their sense of smell after a viral illness. If you have ongoing smell problems after a cold or COVID, this treatment might help you regain your sense of smell.
This study looks at how abnormalities in the smell area (olfactory cleft) affect smell in people with chronic rhinosinusitis. You'll have smell tests before and after sinus surgery to see if the surgery helps.
This study tests whether smell training can improve your sense of smell and affect your immune system. It is for people with chronic sinus inflammation and nasal polyps who have lost their sense of smell.
This study tests a nasal spray made from mastic gum oil, combined with a lower dose of a standard steroid nasal spray, to treat chronic sinusitis (long-lasting inflammation of the sinuses). It may help reduce symptoms with fewer side effects from steroids.
This study takes a small tissue sample from inside your nose to look for changes linked to Alzheimer's disease or smell problems. It may help us better understand how these conditions affect the brain.
This study tests a special nose dressing that slowly releases a steroid to reduce inflammation and improve healing after sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps.
