Turbinate Volume Reduction Under Local Anesthesia: Randomized Clinical Trial; Our Experience

Egypt90 participantsStarted 2022-06-01

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this trial is to know which method is better in delivering radiofrequency waves for hypertrophied turbinates: coblation or RavoR technique? Researchers will compare both techniques in randomized blinded manner patients will have subjective outcomes like NOSE score, pain Objective outcomes like Turbinate size over long term clinical follow up visits for 1 year
