NCT ID NCT07460934

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether a dietary supplement called Imunoglukan P4H® (made from pleuran, a mushroom extract, plus vitamin C) could help people with chronic sinusitis. 85 patients over age 12 took the supplement alongside standard treatments like nasal sprays and saline rinses. Researchers tracked sinus flare-ups, infections, and antibiotic use to see if the supplement made a difference.
