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.
