Sinus infection linked to fewer eye needles for AMD patients
NCT ID NCT05547633
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether sinusitis (sinus infection) is common in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who need many eye injections. Researchers will screen 200 participants for sinusitis and treat it if found. They will then check if sinusitis treatment reduces the number of eye injections needed over the next year.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- sinusitis screening consultation
- What this could lead to
- If a link is confirmed, treating sinusitis could reduce the number of eye injections needed for wet AMD, improving quality of life.
