GPS for your sinuses? new trial tests Navigation-Guided balloon surgery

NCT ID NCT06567821

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether using a navigation system during balloon sinus dilation improves success rates for people with chronic maxillary sinusitis. Fifty adults who have not had prior sinus surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either standard balloon dilation or navigation-guided dilation. The goal is to see if navigation leads to better outcomes, with an expected 30% improvement in success.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

RELIEVA SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinusplasty System (navigated device)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could make balloon sinus dilation more accurate and effective for people with chronic sinusitis, reducing the need for more invasive surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 50 people. The improvement may be small or not apply to everyone. Both devices are already approved, so the main question is whether navigation adds meaningful benefit.
