New device uses humming vibrations to zap sinus pain
NCT ID NCT05479604
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device called SinuSonic that uses sound vibrations and pressure to relieve sinus headache pain. The trial included 27 adults with facial pain lasting more than 3 months. Participants used either the real device or a sham device that looked the same but didn't work. The study was stopped early, so it's unclear if the device truly helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SinuSonic device (handheld device using acoustic vibration and oscillating expiratory pressure)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free option for people with sinus headaches to reduce facial pain and pressure.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early and had only 27 participants, so results are limited. The device may not work better than a sham device.
