3D-Printed nose models could boost sinus rinse results

NCT ID NCT06118554

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a 3D-printed replica of a person's own nose can help them position their head better when using steroid nasal rinses. 200 adults with chronic sinusitis will use a daily steroid rinse for 8 weeks, with some getting the 3D model to guide their head position. The goal is to see if this leads to less congestion and better quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

mometasone nasal irrigation

What this could lead to

If it works, this could give people with chronic sinusitis a simple, non-surgical way to get more relief from their steroid rinses.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early study testing a teaching tool, not a new drug. The 3D model may not actually improve symptoms, and results may not apply to everyone with sinusitis.
