Study Details

Brief summary:

To assess the efficacy of intra-sinus installation of a poloxamer gel that releases antibiotics and corticosteroids topically after balloon sinuplasty in chronic sinusitis patients with or without polyps. This is a single-blinded Randomized Control Trial study, in which every patient receives active gel on one side and placebo on the other (L or R to be randomly selected).

Interventions

gel loaded with steroids (momentasone)

One of the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a gel that actively releases local corticosteroids (momentasone) after balloon sinuplasty for chronic sinusitis patients.

gel loaded with antibiotic (Levofloxacin)

One of the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a gel that actively releases local antibiotic(levofloxacin) after balloon sinuplasty for chronic sinusitis patients.

gel loaded with both steroids and antibiotic

One of the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a gel that actively releases local both steroids (momentasone)and antibiotic(levofloxacin) after balloon sinuplasty for chronic sinusitis patients.
