NCT ID NCT03725956
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether endoscopic sinus surgery can improve sleep in people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. Researchers will measure sleep quality before and after surgery in 30 participants. The goal is to see if removing polyps and opening blocked sinuses helps with sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
