Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are infants, children, adults, or pregnant/breastfeeding people with acute or chronic sinonasal conditions (URTI, bronchiolitis, COVID-19, allergic rhinitis, or chronic rhinosinusitis) who have at least two moderate nasal symptoms and, for acute cases, symptom onset within 72 hours.
✕Probably not a fit
People without significant nasal symptoms, those whose breathing problems are primarily due to non-nasal causes, or those requiring urgent medical or surgical treatment are unlikely to benefit from these nasal washes.

What this trial studies
In a post-market, real-life setting, this investigation will follow people using four CE-marked isotonic and hypertonic seawater nasal sprays used according to each device's intended instructions. The study will collect data on symptom change, device usage patterns, tolerance, safety events, and user satisfaction across age groups including infants and pregnant or breastfeeding women with conditions such as URTI, bronchiolitis, COVID-19, allergic rhinitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. Eligible participants must report at least two moderate nasal symptoms and, for acute presentations, symptom onset within 72 hours; treatments will be applied as in routine practice. Outcomes will rely mainly on patient-reported symptom scores, safety/tolerance reporting, and device usage information.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, these nasal sprays could reduce nasal congestion and other sinonasal symptoms and improve comfort with a low-risk, nonpharmacologic option.
How similar studies have gone: Previous clinical and post-market studies of saline and seawater nasal irrigation have generally shown symptomatic benefit for common colds and chronic rhinosinusitis, although results vary by formulation, tonicity, and patient population.
