This early-phase study tests if giving tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) through a mist into the nose and sinuses during sinus surgery can reduce bleeding. It is designed for adults who are otherwise healthy and undergoing a common type of sinus surgery called functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
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 rinsing the nose with a Chinese herbal medicine after surgery helps people with chronic sinusitis recover better. It compares the herbal rinse to usual care, with the goal of reducing symptoms and the need for more treatments.
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 adding a special rinse with povidone-iodine and budesonide after sinus surgery helps reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in people with chronic sinusitis. It may help you recover better and have fewer sinus problems after your operation.
This study looks at using a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) during nose surgery, along with a precise way of giving another pain medicine (remifentanil) to keep you comfortable and stable. The goal is to find the best dose to reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
