First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether applying bee venom to the face using ultrasound can ease chronic sinusitis symptoms. Thirty adults with sinusitis will either get bee venom phonophoresis or standard care (decongestants and saline rinses). Researchers will measure changes in symptom severity, pain, and quality of life over the treatment period.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

bee venom extract applied via ultrasound

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug option to reduce sinusitis symptoms like facial pain and congestion.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early trial with only 30 people, so results may not apply broadly. Bee venom can cause allergic reactions, and the treatment may not work better than standard care.
