NCT ID NCT07289854

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a modified action camera can take clear images inside the nose, compared to the standard large camera system. Forty adults with tearing or sinus issues will have both types of images taken during their routine exam. Doctors will rate the image quality to see if the portable version is good enough for everyday use.
