NCT07524127
This monocentric, interventional study (category RIPH2) aims to characterize the rheological properties of sinonasal secretions in patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). The primary objective is to determine differences in mucus viscosity between CRSwNP patients and a control group. By establishing a correlation between local rheology and systemic Type 2 inflammation biomarkers, the study seeks to develop a non-invasive, rapid "point-of-care" tool to refine patient phenotyping and improve the personalization of biological treatments.
NCT07470242
This prospective randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of different nasal irrigation solutions for postoperative care after endoscopic sinus surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery will be randomly assigned to receive nasal irrigation with normal saline, mucomyst, or diluted povidone-iodine solution for three months after surgery. Clinical outcomes, symptom scores, endoscopic findings, and potential ototoxic effects will be evaluated to compare the effectiveness and safety of these irrigation methods.
NCT04117646
A single quality questionnaire evaluating the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis in children currently exists. It has been validated in English for children aged 2 to 12. It comprises five areas of quality of life, each rated by a score ranging from 1 to 7 : sinus infection, nasal obstruction, allergic symptoms, emotional distress and activity limitation, coupled with an overall assessment of quality of life with an analogue visual scale (score from 1 to 10). This SN-5 (sinus and nasal quality of life survey) score showed excellent statistics of reproducibility, internal validity and ease of response. It is currently used in several international publications evaluating chronic sinus pathology in children. The objective of the study is to validate the translation of the SN-5 questionnaire in French.
NCT06687629
Concha bullosa (CB) refers to the condition where the middle turbinate's interior is aerated (making the turbinate wide and thick). CB can narrow the middle meatus and the ostiomeatal complex. In adults suffering from chronic sinusitis, the prevalence of CB is approximately 34%. The most common treatment method for CB is turbinate crushing. This is considered a conservative treatment that preserves the mucous membranes relatively intact without opening the interior of the turbinate. Another fairly common method is the removal of the lateral part of the bullous middle turbinate. Opening the CB and removing the lateral part of the middle turbinate can lead to adhesions between the middle turbinate and the lateral wall of the nose. These adhesions can impede airflow and narrow or completely close the ostium or the surgically created middle meatal antrostomy. Crushing the CB is technically easier and possibly a less traumatic procedure. However, it is suspected that some of these crushed bullous turbinates may refill. The development of a mucocele is another potential issue. Crushing might be a better option compared to resection in the long term. Preserving the mucous membranes during crushing may reduce the formation of adhesions, which are sometimes seen after resection of the middle turbinate. The purpose of the study is to investigate the long-term benefits and side effects of CB treatment methods. The study will include 60 patients undergoing a basic Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) procedure due to recurrent or chronic maxillary sinusitis. The patients will be randomized, with 31 undergoing resection and 31 undergoing crushing. Before the procedure, patients will undergo a CT scan (NSO-TT) and symptom evaluation through various questionnaires. All patients will also undergo nasoscopy. One year after the procedure, the patients' conditions will be reassessed (questionnaires, nasoscopy, NSO-TT only if necessary), including the need for revision surgery.

NCT06603935
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital tools in managing allergic rhinitis (AR) in primary care settings. AR is a common condition that affects many people's quality of life. The study will test whether digital tools, such as the QHSLab platform, can help patients better control their symptoms, improve adherence to treatment, and enhance overall well-being. The trial will compare two groups: one using standard care and the other using both standard care and digital tools. Participants will be monitored over 12 months, and the study will measure changes in symptom severity, treatment adherence, quality of life, and healthcare usage. The study will also gather feedback from patients and healthcare providers about their experience with the digital tools. The digital tools used in this study are designed to help patients manage their AR more effectively by providing regular symptom assessments, medication reminders, and personalized feedback based on their health data. This summary ensures the information is clear and straightforward for patients, families, and healthcare providers while maintaining compliance with IRB guidelines.
NCT07383402
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is commonly performed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) to improve sinus drainage and allow better delivery of topical therapies after surgery. Despite surgery, postoperative inflammation can persist and negatively affect healing and outcomes. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate whether intra-sinus administration of a gel-forming suspension containing povidone-iodine and budesonide improves postoperative endoscopic outcomes of the sinus cavities three months following ESS, compared with placebo.
NCT06822725
Chronic rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory disease of the sinonasal mucosa with significant impact and limited treatment options. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) poses an important public health problem and causes a large impact on individual quality of life. Studies of CRS have been limited by access to tissue, the complexity of the sinonasal physiology, a lack of available biomarkers, the absence of useful animal models, a paucity of cohorts with biological samples for analysis, and limited well-designed clinical trials or investigations of immune function. Therefore, novel strategies for identifying biological mechanisms underlying this disease are in great need. Using prospective samples from well characterized subjects, the investigators intend to profile the mucosa associated-bacteria in the nose and sinuses. In parallel, using sinus tissue from patients undergoing surgery, the site will interrogate the epithelium for mucosal immune function to understand host-microbe interaction. This study hypothesizes that the microbial profile of the sinuses initiates an immune responses which leads to chronic inflammation in susceptible people. This study would provide the first comprehensive data on what bacteria are present in the nose and sinus and could lead to important knowledge useful in sinonasal disease.

NCT07316959
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of long-term, low-dose clarithromycin (250 mg/day) in reducing symptoms, improving endoscopic and radiologic scores, and preventing early recurrence of nasal polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery. Conducted at the ENT Department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, the study included patients aged 15-75 undergoing surgery for nasal polyps. Group A received clarithromycin for three months in addition to standard therapy, while Group B received standard therapy alone. Patients treated with clarithromycin showed significantly greater improvements in SNOT, Lund-Kennedy, and Lund-Mackay scores at 8 and 12 weeks compared to controls (p\<0.05). Polyp recurrence at three months was also lower in the macrolide group (12%) than in the non-macrolide group (32%). Overall, low-dose clarithromycin was found to be safe and effective in enhancing postoperative outcomes and reducing early recurrence of nasal polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery.
NCT07125586
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common condition causing nasal congestion, discharge, and reduced sense of smell, seriously affecting patients' quality of life. A subtype called eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) is difficult to treat and often recurs after surgery. Currently, diagnosing this subtype requires tissue samples after surgery, which delays treatment decisions and may lead to unnecessary surgeries. Our research team has developed a new, non-invasive diagnostic system using advanced spectral technology to detect a natural fluorescence marker inside eosinophils (a type of immune cell) in nasal polyps. This system can quickly identify eCRSwNP before surgery by shining a safe light on the nasal tissue and analyzing the fluorescence signals. This study aims to evaluate how accurate and safe this real-time diagnostic system is in clinical practice. If successful, it will help doctors choose better personalized treatments, reduce unnecessary surgeries, lower recurrence rates, and ultimately improve patients' lives.
