View clinical trials related to Sinusitis.
Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess safety and performance of the SinuSys Dilation System for dilation of the maxillary sinus ostium.
The purpose of this study is to show clinically meaningful improvement in symptom severity after transnasal balloon dilation of the maxillary sinus outflow tract with or without balloon dilation of the frontal or sphenoid sinuses.
The purpose of this study is to assess the use of IV acetaminophen (Ofirmev) as a and safe and efficacious agent in reducing post-operative pain; we hypothesize that its use will reduce post-operative pain when compared to a control group using the visual analogue score (VAS) analog pain scoring system.
Purpose: To determine if high volume saline nasal irrigation (HVSI), (NeilMed® Sinus Rinse™) offers a benefit over low volume saline irrigation (LVSI), (Salinex®) in the early post-operative management in patients with chronic rhino sinusitis.
An explosion of interest in the numerous therapeutic properties of Punica granatum over the last decade has led to numerous in vitro, animal, and clinical trials. Pomegranate is a potent antioxidant, superior to red wine and equal to or better than green tea. In addition, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties suggest its possible use as a therapy or adjunct for prevention and treatment of several types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Because of pomegranate's antimicrobial properties, it may aid in preventing infection by dental pathogens, pathogenic E. coli O157:H7, and antibiotic-resistant organisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Pomegranate's effect on bacterial pathogens has only been tested in vitro, however, necessitating human trials to refute or substantiate any clinical effect. The possibility that pomegranate extracts may also have an effect on several other disease processes, such as Alzheimer's and obesity, underscores the need for more clinical research. Currently, numerous clinical trials are in progress exploring the therapeutic potential of pomegranate extracts. Aim The investigators want to evaluate the effect of Punica granatum components on Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and chronic rhinitis.
This is a study to learn more about the common cold from studying the nasal secretions produced during a cold or episode of allergic rhinitis.
Cefditoren pivoxil has been used in rhinosinusitis treatment. However, little is known about the efficacy of this drug at low and high doses.
A prospective, single-arm, post approval pilot study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between viral infections of the upper respiratory tract, perturbations of the nasopharyngeal microbiome in children, and the risk of acute bacterial sinusitis over a one year period. The investigators will determine the incidence of acute bacterial sinusitis post viral upper respiratory infection and identify the viral antecedent infections and other risk factors which predispose to infection and ultimately design strategies to reduce the burden of disease and antimicrobial resistance.
The research at University of California Irvine, Beckman laser institute and Praxis Biosciences Incorporation, develope near-infrared trans-illumination methods. The optical imaging tool that can determine acute sinusitis and the response to treatment therapy.
