What this trial studies

This interventional study examines whether septoplasty alters headache severity in patients with septal deviation. Eligible participants are adults aged 18–60 with both a septal deviation and headaches, and they will undergo septoplasty. The trial aims to compare headache symptoms before and after the surgery to see if there is an improvement or change in intensity. Exclusion criteria remove patients with coexisting nasal diseases, prior nasal surgery, systemic illnesses, ophthalmologic issues, cervical spine or TMJ problems, congenital anomalies, neurological or dental headaches, or other conditions that could confound results. Lead sponsor is Sohag University, located in Sohag, with no listed collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced headache severity following septoplasty.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies on septoplasty for headache have shown mixed or variable results, making this investigation exploratory in nature.
