Septoplasty with or without turbinate reduction for nasal blockage
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 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.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding after nasal surgery (septoplasty): using a special stitch inside the nose versus using nasal packing. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and effective for patients like you.
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 study compares two similar surgical techniques for treating enlarged nasal turbinates, which are small structures inside the nose that can block airflow. The goal is to find which technique gives better long-term relief from nasal congestion.
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.
