Could shorter nasal packing speed recovery after turbinate surgery?
NCT ID NCT07775118
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two different durations of nasal packing after turbinate surgery—removing the packing after one day versus after three days. The goal is to find out which timing is better for reducing postoperative bleeding and improving nasal breathing. Adults aged 18 to 45 with inferior turbinate hypertrophy who haven't improved with medication are eligible. The study will measure bleeding rates and use a standard questionnaire to assess nasal obstruction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nasal packing for 1 day or 3 days after turbinate surgery
- What this could lead to
- If one-day packing works as well as three-day packing, patients could have shorter recovery and less discomfort after turbinate surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study, and results may not apply to everyone. Removing packing earlier might increase the risk of bleeding in some patients.
