Nasal spray to reduce bleeding during sinus surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray with desmopressin (a medicine that helps blood clot) reduces bleeding during surgery for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may make surgery safer and recovery easier.

This trial tests whether avoiding opioid painkillers during and after sinus surgery helps patients recover faster and with fewer side effects, using a standard recovery plan called ERAS.
This trial is testing whether packing the nose with one of three medications (dexmedetomidine, midazolam, or bupivacaine) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) can improve the surgeon's view during the procedure. It may help patients by reducing bleeding and making the surgery smoother.
This study tests whether giving vitamin C before surgery can reduce bleeding during sinus surgery. If less bleeding occurs, the surgery may be safer and recovery may be easier.
This trial studies whether placing a steroid nasal cream inside your sinus area can reduce symptoms in people with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) even after sinus surgery. It may help lower ongoing inflammation and symptoms for those who still feel unwell despite usual medical treatments.
This study tests a special nose dressing that slowly releases a steroid to reduce inflammation and improve healing after sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps.
This trial tests a fully dissolvable stent that releases medication inside the sinuses after surgery. It is for patients with a specific type of sinusitis (eosinophilic) and nasal polyps who either need surgery or have had surgery and show early signs of inflammation returning.
