Improving maxillary sinus surgery accuracy with navigation technology

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research examines the effectiveness of using navigation technology during maxillary balloon sinus dilation for patients with chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis. Adult participants aged 18 and over, who have not responded to medical therapy and do not have nasal polyps, will be randomly assigned to receive either navigated or traditional balloon sinusotomy. The study will follow participants for about one month post-procedure to assess outcomes over a total participation time of approximately three months.
