In-Clinic polyp removal could replace costly sinus surgery
NCT ID NCT02975310
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to treat chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps: a new in-clinic procedure done under local anesthesia versus standard sinus surgery in an operating room. Researchers will enroll 140 adults to see if the in-clinic approach controls symptoms just as well, while being faster, cheaper, and easier to access. If successful, it could become the new standard of care.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
endoscopic polypectomy in clinic (polyp removal using a microdebrider under local anesthesia)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could replace expensive sinus surgery with a cheaper, quicker in-clinic procedure for many patients with nasal polyps.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 140 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The in-clinic procedure may not control symptoms as well as surgery in the long run.
