Endoscopic surgery for sphenoid sinus lesions
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at different endoscopic (through the nose) surgical methods to remove growths or lesions in the sphenoid sinus, which is a small air-filled space behind the nose. The goal is to find the best approach for patients whose lesions may extend toward the skull base.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lesion (abnormal growth) in your sphenoid sinus, which is located behind your nose.
- The lesion may or may not extend to the skull base (the bone at the bottom of the skull).
- You do not have severe health problems that would make surgery risky.
- If you have cancer, it must be limited to the sphenoid sinus and not require open surgery.

This study looks at how well a type of keyhole surgery through the nose works for removing tumors at the base of the skull. It aims to see how much of the tumor can be removed and how patients recover.
This study tests different ways to manage pain after sinus surgery to help patients recover more comfortably. Participation may help reduce pain and improve your recovery experience.
This trial studies a less invasive way (using an endoscope, a thin tube with a camera) to remove tumors in the nose and sinuses that are in tricky spots. It aims to help patients avoid more invasive open surgery when possible.
This study compares two types of endoscopic sinus surgery to treat chronic sinusitis that affects the frontal sinuses. The goal is to see which method works better for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.
This study looks at how doctors manage tumors that start in the nose/sinuses and spread to the skull base. It may help improve planning of care for people with this specific type and location of tumor.
This trial tests an in-clinic (not hospital) endoscopic procedure to remove nasal polyps in people with chronic sinus inflammation, after usual medicines haven’t helped. It may help reduce nasal blockage and improve sinus symptoms, while comparing safety and outcomes after the procedure.
