Can two simple questionnaires capture how bad sinus disease feels?
NCT ID NCT06970977
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at 32 medical centers in Europe, the USA, and South Africa are testing two new questionnaires designed to measure how severe chronic rhinosinusitis feels and how well it is controlled. About 1,000 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, with or without nasal polyps, fill out the new questionnaires along with existing tools such as SNOT-22 and VAS scores during a routine ear, nose, and throat visit. The study compares the answers to see whether the new questionnaires match established measures and work across different languages. The goal is to validate a standard way to track this condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- two new questionnaires for measuring chronic rhinosinusitis severity and control
- What this could lead to
- If the questionnaires hold up, doctors could gain a standard way to measure how severe chronic rhinosinusitis feels and how well it is controlled, which may help guide treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This study tests a measurement tool, not a treatment, so it will not cure or ease the disease itself. A questionnaire can perform well in a study and still prove less useful in everyday practice, and results may differ across languages.
