6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary objective of the LATERA RCT is to demonstrate the superiority of the Latera Implant to improve nasal breathing, compared with a Sham Control procedure.
The purpose of this study is to research a polyester polyethylene terephthalate (PET) implant for the treatment of external nasal valve collapse (NVC). NVC is a condition which causes narrowness and weakness in the nostril which results in nasal obstruction. Implants will be placed in the affected nostril(s). The implants are intended to restore the shape and stabilize the nasal wall to prevent nasal valve collapse and improve the symptoms associated with nasal obstruction.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an implant material can be injected to repair nasal valve collapse.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of batten grafts plus septoplasty and turbinate reduction (intervention arm) compared to septoplasty and turbinate reduction alone (control arm), both in terms of subjective and objective assessments.
The research team has developed a prototype for an investigational mechanical nasal dilator and the investigators aim to evaluate its efficacy. Specifically, the investigators wish to address the following research questions: 1) How does mechanical nasal obstruction affect patients' lives? The investigators aim to answer this question with use of validated questionnaires. 2) How do currently available mechanical nasal dilators affect objective and subjective findings related to nasal obstruction? This will be evaluated with objective nasal airflow testing and with modifications to validated questionnaires 3) How does the investigational team's novel device affect these same outcome measures? 4) Do patients find the investigational device subjectively comfortable and efficient?
Prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized, single-arm controlled study to obtain outcomes data in participants with severe to extreme class NOSE scores who are undergoing placement of the Spirox Latera Implant with or without concurrent turbinate reduction procedures in an office setting.
