NCT ID NCT07546617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a special microscope to look at the smell-sensing part of the nose in 36 adults undergoing sinus surgery. The goal is to see if the microscope can show differences between people with and without smell loss. This is an early-stage observation study, not a treatment, and aims to improve how we understand and diagnose smell problems.
