Filter by:Chronic rhinosinusitis presents with a plethora of symptoms including non-rhinologic symptoms such as depression, sleep disturbances & the more recently recognized cognitive dysfunction. It has recently been identified that sinus specific treatments such as endoscopic sinus surgery can improve cognitive outcomes in patients with cognitive deficit secondary to chronic inflammation in the upper and lower airway. However, it remains to be seen whether or not offering surgery to these patients at an earlier date has an impact on the degree of improvement on cognitive function in comparison to patients who have to wait long periods for their treatment.
Asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) are frequently described as unified airway inflammatory diseases. Both heavily impacts quality of life with substantial productivity loss. They share the same pathophysiologic pattern based upon proTh2 immune response with blood eosinophils recruitment. Eosinophils are the major actor of persistent mucosal inflammation by promoting their own survival, by attracting other inflammatory cells and by producing cytotoxic proteins involved in mucosal remodeling. Promising anti-Th2 therapeutic approaches (i.e.anti-IgE, anti-interleukin 5 (IL-5), anti-IL-4, anti-IL-13) are considered as effective alternative options to long-term corticosteroid treatment. Their advantage in recalcitrant CRSwNP is under consideration. Moreover, we still need to delineate the good responders to improve theirs indications. The objective is to assess blood eosinophil immunophenotypes in asthma or CRSwNP. Flow cytometric expression of activation markers on eosinophil membrane will be compared with a group of healthy subjects. Innovative data on eosinophil involvement in airway diseases will be obtained. The major outcome will be to depict patients' endotypes for a better selection of immunotherapies.
This a single center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate safety & efficacy of topical nitric oxide releasing sinus irrigation (NOSi) as compared to budesonide-Saline (Control) in the management of biofilm-associated recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis (RCRS). It is hypothesized that a daily treatment of NOSi over a 6-week period will be safe and effective at reducing clinical symptoms associated with RCRS.
This is a Phase II, Randomized, Blinded, Sham Procedure-Controlled, Parallel-Group Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of LYR-210 in Adult Subjects with Chronic Sinusitis.
Before performing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS-Endoscopic Sinus Surgery), every candidate for surgery is referred to perform a sinus CT scan of the sinuses. Because of the complicated anatomy of the sinuses and their proximity to vital organs such as the brain, eye, and carotid artery, the surgeon use the CT imaging during surgery to adjust the anatomy and to avoid complications such as blindness, brain damage and massive bleeding (0.3%). Sometimes the CT is integrated into a navigation system, although there is no evidence that the use of navigation systems reduces the rate of complications. The aim of our study is to examine whether ESS can be performed in chronic sinusitis patients using MRI, with CT being used as a backup only.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether there is a difference in postoperative (after surgery) endoscopic appearance of the sinus cavities (the way that the sinuses look through a camera) between sinuses that receive one of two types of resorbable steroid eluting sinus packing (a sponge-like material which dissolves within several days while releasing a steroid): 1) Propel Implant or 2) Nasopore soaked with triamcinolone at the time of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare esmolol and labetalol bleeding and intra-operative visibility scores in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
This study is intended to assess the impact of a 90 day course of high volume budesonide irrigations for patients who have failed other medical therapy and assessing the impact of the budesonide irrigations on the need for sinus surgery.
To assess the efficacy of intra-sinus installation of a poloxamer gel that releases antibiotics and corticosteroids topically after balloon sinuplasty in chronic sinusitis patients with or without polyps. This is a single-blinded Randomized Control Trial study, in which every patient receives active gel on one side and placebo on the other (L or R to be randomly selected).
The ENCORE Study is designed to evaluate the repeat administration of the S8 Sinus Implant in chronic sinusitis (CS) patients with recurrent nasal polyps.
