Active clinical trials for "Sinusitis"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the primary endoscopic frontal sinus surgery on the clinical outcome in patients having moderate to severe eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps with primary outcome measures in form of recurrence of polyp using endoscopic polyp score and Secondary outcome measures include Lund MacKay score, SNOT-22 and need for corticosteroid to control polyp postoperatively.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rimegepant versus placebo in the acute treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with and without nasal polyps.

The aim of this study is to find out if endoscopic sinus surgery improves the quality of life in patients suffering from recurrent acute rhinosinusitis. Our main outcome is the difference between the average change in disease-specific SNOT-22 quality of life questionnaire scores (from baseline to 5-6 months follow-up) between the intervention and the control groups.

Sinusitis is one of the most common sequelae after radiotherapy among nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. While local steroids have been shown to be effective in the management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, their role in treating radiation-related sinusitis is ambiguous. Poor adherence to nasal steroid spray often contributes to the failure of symptom relief. The aim of this study is to determine if steroids stents implantation into the sinuses could improve patient outcomes in radiation-related sinusitis.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the pimary surgical treatment of CRS, characterized with the preservation of nasal structure and function.But the control of disease by surgery has been unsatisfactory. Recent studies have shown that patients with recurrent CRSwNP (usually with severe eosinophilic inflammation), more radical surgery may be more effective. The purpose of this prospective and randomized study is to determine the effect of endoscopic sinus surgery for extensive mucosal removal in patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitus with nasal polyps.

This is a double-blind, randomized, double-blind, randomized, double-blind, randomized block design with two intervention groups of 30 patients each. Patients not recruited at the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic of the Regional University Hospital of the North of Paraná and the University Hospital Specialties Ambulatory will be included in the study of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis are randomly divided with stratification for the presence of two groups of patients. 30 patients, with 9 asthmatics in each). Of the nasal nasal with 2mg budesonide diluted in high daily volume added to the corticosteroid injectable injectable and the topic for 16 weeks compared to placebo. The Polyp Score (NPS), Sono-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), University of Pennsylvania Olfactory Identification Test (UPSIT), peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), visual scales preoperative tomography, acoustic rhinometry, computerized rhinomanometry and nasal endoscopy before and after the treatments. Position Paper on Nasal Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2012; A bilateral nasal pole score is 5 and a maximum of 8 for both nostrils (with less than a score of 2 for each nostril).

the study is intended to test the effect of Nigella sativa nasal oil drops on selected outcomes among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis using prospective clinical trial design. To achieve the aim of the current trial the following research hypotheses are postulated: H1. The total severity of symptoms mean scores of patients with CRS who will use Nigella sativa nasal oil drops will be different from the total severity of symptoms mean scores of a control group. H2. The total sleep quality mean scores of patients with CRS who will use Nigella sativa nasal oil drops will be different from the total sleep quality mean scores of a control group. H3. The total patient satisfaction mean scores of patients with CRS who will use Nigella sativa nasal oil drops will be different from the total patient satisfaction mean scores of a control group.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal passage and paranasal sinuses that places significant burden on affected patients and global healthcare systems. Current treatments for CRS such as long-term antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery often reduce symptoms and signs of disease temporarily, however long-term results are much less satisfactory. Recently, the theory of a damaged microbiome (dysbiosis) as a cause or promoting factor behind CRS has gained increasing evidence from the scientific community. A condition of the gut with microbial dysbiosis (c.difficile) has previously employed microbiota transplant treatment with great success in long-term health outcomes. Such treatments are shown to repopulate bacterial microenvironment and restore protective commensal bacterial load. A pilot study conducted by this study team trialed a novel intervention of a Nasal Microbiota Transplant in a small group of participants. Preliminary results suggested significantly improved CRS symptoms after treatment with a healthy donor microbiota transplant, compared to the pre-transplant baseline. The addition of a randomized-control trial with inclusion of a placebo group is the next step. In this study, investigators aim to perform a two-arm, double-blinded, phase II randomized controlled clinical trial in order to assess the efficacy of a Nasal Microbiota Transplant against a placebo in a cohort of CRS patients without Nasal Polyps (CRSsNP).

Chronic sinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory condition of the sinuses that affects up to 2.5% of the Canadian population, and is thought to be caused by bacterial infection, resistant biofilms, chronic inflammation and possibly an unhealthy population of sinus microbes (or microbiota). Symptoms include nasal obstruction and discharge, facial pain, loss of smell and sleep disturbance, which all strongly impact quality of life. CRS treatment involves nasal or oral steroids, repeated rounds of antibiotic, and sinus surgery. Despite maximal treatment, some recalcitrant patients suffer with CRS for years. The lack of new, effective therapies to treat CRS leads the investigators to test whether a SinoNasal Microbiota Transfer (SNMT) could trigger CRS recovery. SNMT is defined as the endoscopic transfer of a healthy sinus microbiota from a fully screened donor's sinus to a CRS patient's sinus(es). Similar to a fecal transplant used to treat Clostridioides difficile diarrhea, the sinonasal microbiota transfer may eliminate sinus pathogens and restore the sinus microbiota to a healthy state. SNMT will be combined with a one-time, high volume, high pressure "sinus power wash" pre-treatment to temporarily clear the way for the donor microbiota to establish itself. The investigators will conduct a proof-of-principle, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 80 subjects to test whether a sinus power wash plus SNMT improves clinical outcomes in CRS patients.
