Sinusitis secrets: could a salt channel be the culprit?
NCT ID NCT02038166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a partial problem with a salt channel (CFTR) in the nose contributes to chronic sinusitis. Researchers will measure how well the nose clears mucus in 20 people with sinusitis and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand the disease better, not to test a new treatment.
