Comparing two types of nasal septum surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a crooked nasal septum (deviated septum) blocking your nose, confirmed by a scope test (endoscopy).
- You are scheduled for one of the two surgeries being studied between January 2023 and December 2025.
- You do NOT have a hole in your septum (septal perforation).
- You have NOT had any prior nose surgery (including cosmetic nose reshaping).
- You do NOT have nasal allergies (allergic rhinitis) or long-term sinus infection (chronic sinusitis).

This study tests whether adding Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) — a natural concentrate from your own blood that helps healing — to standard septoplasty (nose straightening surgery) improves recovery. It is for adults with a bent nasal septum who need surgery.
This trial compares septoplasty alone to septoplasty plus inferior turbinate reduction for people with a crooked nasal septum that causes ongoing nasal blockage. It aims to see which approach gives better breathing improvement.
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.
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 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.
