Cognitive and Immunologic Profiles of Patients With Olfactory Dysfunction After Smell Training

A research study to assess the baseline olfactory function, mental health status, clinical severity, and immunological profile in patients with smell loss. The impact of a 3-month olfactory training program on smell function, immunological changes, and mental health in patients with smell loss will be evaluated. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate tissue and blood samples to identify molecules that may be related to smell loss, ultimately aiming to develop future treatments for this condition and correlate with cognition.

Active vs. Passive VR During Office-based ENT Procedures

The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether active virtual reality reduces pain and anxiety more effectively than passive virtual reality during office-based ENT procedures. The main procedures include exposure to virtual reality (passive calming scenery or interactive puzzle game) via Paperplane Therapeutics software with VR headset or glasses during common in-office ENT procedures, participant self-report surveys (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PEG, VAS, SUDS, Likert, experience questions), and physician post-procedure survey. The study will enroll individuals 18 years or older who are scheduled to undergo common office-based ENT procedures (turbinate reduction, nasal debridement, balloon sinuplasty, radiofrequency ablation, nasal polypectomy, eustachian tube dilation, vocal fold injection, or subglottic steroid injection) at Cedars Sinai.

The Efficacy of Olfactory Cleft Steroid Drops in Patients With CRS With Olfactory Cleft Obstruction

This study aims to compare the efficacy of steroid nasal drops targeting the olfactory cleft versus traditional intranasal steroid sprays in improving olfactory function in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with olfactory cleft obstruction. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: 1. Efficacy Comparison: Is olfactory improvement greater with olfactory cleft-targeted steroid nasal drops compared to standard nasal steroid sprays in CRS patients? 2. Mechanism Exploration: How do changes in inflammatory markers, obstruction severity, and olfactory test results explain the potential benefits of this treatment approach?

Intra-Sinus Povidone-Iodine and Budesonide After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is commonly performed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) to improve sinus drainage and allow better delivery of topical therapies after surgery. Despite surgery, postoperative inflammation can persist and negatively affect healing and outcomes. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate whether intra-sinus administration of a gel-forming suspension containing povidone-iodine and budesonide improves postoperative endoscopic outcomes of the sinus cavities three months following ESS, compared with placebo.

Sinonasal Therapies and Histologic Correlations of Patients With Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Highly Effective Modulator Therapy

The investigators are doing this study to discover if it is appropriate for people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) on highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) to stop using certain standard Sino nasal therapies such as high-volume nasal saline irrigations, topical nasal steroids, and topical nasal antibiotics. They are also going to study the fluid inside the nose to see if there are changes when stopping these therapies. Right now, they are not sure if it is suggested to stop these treatments when patients begin highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT)

Efficacy of Lavender Aromatherapy on Anxiety and Pain Reduction During Awake Otolaryngologic Procedures

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lavender aromatherapy in adult patients undergoing awake otolaryngologic procedures in the outpatient clinic setting. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does lavender aromatherapy help reduce anxiety and/or pain, and improve patient comfort during awake otolaryngologic procedures in the clinic? * Do patients subjectively find aromatherapy relaxing and/or beneficial during the procedure? Researchers will compare lavender aromatherapy to placebo (an odorless liquid) to see if lavender aromatherapy helps improve patient comfort during their awake procedure Participants will: * Have their scheduled procedure performed with lavender aromatherapy or placebo during the duration of the procedure * Take a short, less than 1 minute questionnaire both before and after the procedure, describing their levels of anxiety, pain and subjective impressions of the aromatherapy

A Phase I Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of VVN432 Nasal Spray

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of VVN432 Nasal Spray in healthy volunteers (Phase Ia) and in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (Phase 1b). This study consists of two parts (Phase 1a and Phase 1b): Phase 1a (SAD) is a single-center, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of VVN432 Nasal Spray in healthy adult subjects. Phase 1b (MAD) is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK/PD, and preliminary efficacy of VVN432 Nasal Spray in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Effectiveness of Penthrox vs Placebo in Sinus Procedures, a Clinical Trial

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of inhaled methoxyflurane (Penthrox) as an analgesic for patients undergoing minor rhinology and sinus procedures, specifically comparing it to a placebo control. The primary question the study aims to answer is: Does methoxyflurane provide superior pain relief compared to placebo during minor sinus procedures, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the effects of Penthrox to the placebo (saline + one drop of methoxyflurane) to see if it provides better pain relief, reduces anxiety, and leads to fewer complications, including bleeding. Participants will be asked to: Inhale 3 mL of Penthrox or placebo during their procedure. Complete a VAS scale to assess pain. Complete anxiety assessments pre- and post-operatively. Be monitored for complications such as bleeding and other adverse effects. This study will help determine the effectiveness of Penthrox as a non-invasive, quick-acting analgesic for minor sinus surgeries.

Comparative Effects of Therapeutic Ultrasound and Sinus Massage in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: a Randomized Controlled Study

This is a randomized controlled trial. Previous studies show that both therapeutic ultrasound and sinus massage techniques have significant results in Chronic Rhinosinustis (CRS). However, there is no comparative study carried out between these two to show which technique has more effects in CRS. This study will determine their comparative effects on: 1. Pain measured on Numerical pain rating scale 2. Sinonasal symptoms measured on sino-nasal outcome test questionaire 3. Quality of life measured on rhinosinusitis disability index (RSDI) 4. Nasal inspiratory airflow measured on peak nasal inspiratory flow meter. Participants of chronic rhinosinusitis will be selected according to the diagnostic criteria of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) and will be randomly allocated into three groups. All three group will continue to receive medical intervention. Additionally one group will receive therapeutic ultrasound while other group will receive sinus massage. Whereas third group will be control group and won't receive any additional treatment. Data will be collected at Foundation University College of Physical Therapy and Fauji Foundation Hospital.
