Filter by:The purpose of this pre-market clinical investigation is to assess the safety and the performance of decongestant seawater spray pocket valve enriched with essential oils by Gilbert Laboratories. The study will evaluate the results of acute rhinitis associated with nasal obstruction using the decongestant seawaterspray pocket valve enriched with essential oils over a 8 day period.
Aim of the study: To compare radiographically the morphometric changes in the nasal airway after using three types of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) conventional hyrax (CH), hybrid hyrax (HH) and maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of batten grafts plus septoplasty and turbinate reduction (intervention arm) compared to septoplasty and turbinate reduction alone (control arm), both in terms of subjective and objective assessments.
This is Prospective Basic Science Study whose aims are as follows: 1. To determine the effect of Filtering Facepiece (FFP3M) respirators on eustachian tube function and hearing 2. To evaluate the extent to which FFP3M respirators attenuate speech in decibels The outcome measures are as follows: 1. Changes in baseline pure tone audiometry and tympanometry post intervention. 2. SNOT-22 Questionnaires before and after use of respirator 3. ETDQ7 questionnaire 4. Measurement of speech attenuation in decibels.
One of this method's drawbacks is the healing of cauterized cartilage after processing. It was reported that the healing is so slow as no dosage form can reach this place in addition to the scares produced from healing is very irritable to the patient. From this point, the investigators start searching for a solution to this problem and reach the repositioning of Vitamin D3 (calciferol) as an active ingredient for the rapidity and efficacy of burn healing. The dosage form of choice that was reported before for intranasal application by the same team of investigators and gave good results. the intranasal films were proved for its convince, simplicity, efficacy, and compliance to patients.
Nasal obstruction is a possible complication of rhinoplasty surgery. Several causes can explain it: deviation of the nasal septum, appearance of mucosal flanges inside the nasal cavity, but also collapse of the internal valve by its fragility. All surgeons performing rhinoplasty or rhinoseptoplasty are unfortunately confronted with this. Thus, when a rhinoplasty patient complains of postoperative nasal obstruction, the surgeon routinely performs several explorations: - Inspection of the nasal cavity with a nasofibroscope - Study of the nasal respiratory flows with a rhinomanometer The results of these 2 explorations allow to determine the cause of the obstruction and if it is explained or not by a collapse of the internal valve. When internal valve collapse is the cause of postoperative nasal obstruction, few alternatives exist to treat this problem. Revision surgery under general anesthesia is usually necessary, with placement of a cartilage graft (= spreader graft) in the septo-triangular angle to reopen and support it. An alternative treatment is the injection of hyaluronic acid into the septo-triangular angle instead of the cartilage graft placed in the operating room. This option has several advantages: it is performed during the consultation, no general anesthesia is required, the procedure is quick, the cost is much lower, the patient's nasal breathing improves immediately, and the post-procedure follow-up is simple. The aim of our study is therefore to objectively analyze the modification of nasal biomechanics after injection of hyaluronic acid in the septo-triangular angle in patients with internal nasal valve (post (septo)-rhinoplasty). This objective evaluation will be performed with a rhinomanometer, before and after injection. This is a simple, non-invasive measuring device that allows the measurement of the main physical variables governing the biomechanics of the fluids inside the nasal cavity, such as pressure, flow and therefore nasal resistance. The objective proof of such an efficiency will allow a better management of the patients, to universalize the practices, to decrease the cost of the treatment and eventually to bring arguments to the health authorities for the reimbursement of such procedures.
Post-market study to access the clinical use of the Vivaer Arc Stylus to treat Septal Swell Bodies (SSB).
Nasal Septal Deviation (NSD) is one of the most common indications for surgery seen by ENT physicians, however, correction requires open surgery which is associated with several weeks of recovery. The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether a suture-based, minimally invasive technique can be used to safely and effectively address NSD.
The purpose of the research is to assess the effectiveness of a dose of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) given intraoperatively to reduce postoperative bleeding after endoscopic sinus or nasal surgery (e.g. septoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery, turbinate surgery). This medication has been shown to decrease blood loss during this type of surgery, but the implications for bleeding following surgery are unclear. Any impact on postoperative bleeding will be assessed over the first 7 days following surgery leading up to the first scheduled postoperative clinic visit. Patients will keep a standardized daily diary of their bleeding experience by indicating on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) their impression of their bleeding. The primary outcome is the patient-reported visual analog scale (VAS) bleeding score on each day after surgery. The secondary outcomes include the the frequency with which the otolaryngology resident service is requested to evaluate patients in the recovery unit for postoperative bleeding concerns and the frequency of interventions such as application of hemostatic materials, packing, cautery, and/or return to the operating room.
