Comparing two septoplasty techniques for a crooked nasal septum
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of straightening a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) to help you breathe better. It tests a newer method against the standard surgical approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how long-term enlarged adenoids (tissue at the back of the nose) relate to a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside the nose) in teenagers. It aims to understand the connection between these two conditions to improve care.
This study looks at cartilage from the nose and ear that is usually thrown away during surgery. The goal is to learn more about it so that doctors can improve how they rebuild the nose in future patients.
This study compares two ways to restore the nose after it has been removed—either through surgery or with a custom-made prosthetic nose (called an epithesis). It looks at how well each approach works and how it affects your appearance, to help guide future patients.
This trial compares two types of surgery to fix a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) that causes ongoing nasal blockage. One surgery only fixes the septum, the other also reduces the size of the turbinates (small structures inside the nose that help filter air). The goal is to see which approach works better for breathing.
This study tests whether combining a routine nose surgery (septoplasty) with an additional procedure improves breathing better than septoplasty alone. It may be a good fit if you have a crooked septum or nasal congestion that isn't caused by other conditions.
This trial tests different methods to reduce complications after septoplasty, a surgery to fix a crooked nasal septum. It may help if you have a deviated septum that causes symptoms like trouble breathing.
