Breathing test vs. surgery: is one test enough for nasal blockage?
NCT ID NCT07379775
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple, non-invasive breathing test called rhinomanometry can reliably confirm the need for nasal surgery in people with nasal obstruction. Researchers will compare the test results with standard methods like questionnaires and exams in 200 adults scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if this test alone can be trusted to guide surgical decisions.
