Septoplasty with or without turbinate reduction
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 50 years old
- You have a deviated septum (crooked wall inside your nose) that blocks your nose
- You have tried medicine (like sprays) for at least 3 months without success
- You have not had any prior nose surgery
- You do not have nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, a collapsed nasal valve, uncontrolled allergies, or a tumor in your nose
- You do not have an outer nose deformity that requires cosmetic surgery

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 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.
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.
