Hyaluronic acid gel versus petroleum jelly for nosebleeds
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two gels—hyaluronic acid and petroleum jelly—to see which works better at stopping nosebleeds from the front of the nose. The goal is to find a simpler, non-invasive treatment that reduces bleeding and speeds healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have nosebleeds from the front of your nose that happen without a clear cause
- Your nosebleeds are not caused by recent trauma, surgery, or a tumor
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a blood disorder or uncontrolled high blood pressure

This study tests whether applying beta-sitosterol (a natural plant substance) to the inside of the nose helps stop nosebleeds better than plain Vaseline. If you have frequent nosebleeds without a known cause, this trial may offer a simple local treatment option.
This study looks at different management strategies for severe nosebleeds when the initial packing method has not worked for over 48 hours. It also measures the cost/benefit of these approaches to help improve care.
This study tests whether a natural orange peel extract spray can help stop nosebleeds in children. If your child gets nosebleeds from the front of the nose and has no other health problems with their blood or nose, this may be an option to explore.
This trial tests a new nose spray (TOR-582) to reduce nosebleeds in people with HHT. If you have moderate nosebleeds, this treatment might help decrease how often and how long they last.
This study looks at adults who went to the emergency room for a nosebleed to find out why some people get another nosebleed later. It may help doctors better understand and prevent repeat nosebleeds.
This study compares two treatments for a nosebleed (epistaxis) that won't stop with simple pressure: tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, versus Blood Stopper (Ankaferd), a plant-based product that also stops bleeding. The goal is to see which works better in the emergency room.
