First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a hypertonic seawater aerosol spray (a saltwater mist) to see if it helps relieve nasal symptoms, improve sleep, and thin mucus in people with colds, sinus infections, or similar upper respiratory infections. About 110 adults and children aged 2 and older will use the spray twice daily for 7 days at home. The goal is to check if the spray is safe and effective for easing symptoms.
