Investingation on Outcomes After Combining Septoplasty With Additional Procedures.
Croatia90 participantsStarted 2025-04-01
Plain-language summary
The aim of this study will be to compare postoperative nasal airflow and symptom improvement using a NOSE form in patients after different types of surgical treatment. Patients will be treated with one of the following operations: septoplasty with turbinectomy, septoplasty with radiofrequent ablation of the nasal turbinates, or septoplasty with valvuloplasty.
This is a single-center prospective randomized interventional comparative study on patients in a tertiary rhinology center, who will undergo septoplasty alongside one additional rhinologic procedure aimed at improving nasal patency.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients were 18 years and above, without any disease or condition affecting nasal breathing apart from allergic rhinitis, septal deviation, hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with a history of psychological or mental illness, prior nasal surgery or nasal polyposis were excluded from the study. Use of any medication related to airway management or nasal patency, such as decongestants or mucolytics, or nasal dilators to influence the external and internal nasal valve function during the study period was not allowed.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
