Nasal fluid test to measure inflammation in sinus surgery patients
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 study looks for certain markers in your blood and nasal tissue that may be linked to chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to more targeted treatments in the future.
This study looks at how bacteria in the nose relate to a type of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help find better treatments for this condition.
This study collects information from people with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps in both nostrils. By tracking patients over time, researchers hope to learn more about the condition and how to improve care.
This study tests a new tool that uses light (spectroscopy) to instantly detect a type of nasal polyp during surgery. The goal is to help doctors identify polyps that are driven by eosinophils, which may guide better treatment choices for you.
This study looks at why people with nasal polyps lose their sense of smell and how it might come back. You may be able to join if you have had nasal blockage, runny nose, smell loss, or facial pain for at least 12 weeks, have polyps seen inside your nose, and are using a steroid spray regularly.
This study tests an injection called LP-003 that may help reduce nasal polyps and improve breathing. It's for people whose symptoms are not controlled by standard treatments like steroid sprays or surgery.
