NCT ID NCT07119879
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether anxiety about climate change is linked to worse sinusitis symptoms and lower quality of life in adults with chronic rhinosinusitis. Researchers will ask about 134 adults to complete questionnaires measuring sinus symptoms, quality of life, and climate change anxiety. The goal is to see if these factors are connected, which could help shape future care.

- If a link is found, it could point toward psychological support as part of managing chronic sinusitis, especially as climate concerns grow.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all people with sinusitis, and the results depend on self-reported data.
