Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 to 70 years
- All sexes
- Healthy volunteers accepted
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Symptoms of chronic nasal obstruction with an exam finding of turbinate hypertrophy, with or without septal deviation will be eligible for the study.
- Failed medical treatment
- Have failed medical treatment for at least 1 month, and will be offered surgery
- Patients having Septoplasty at the same time as their turbinate reduction surgery.
Who cannot join
- Patients who have had previous turbinate reduction surgery will be excluded.
- Patients that have nasal polyps, chronic rhinosinusitis, adenoid hypertrophy, nasal tumors, or any other exam finding that would explain their symptoms of nasal obstruction other than enlarged inferior turbinates with or without septal deviation will be excluded.
- Patients who are diagnosed with purely bony inferior turbinate hypertrophy as discussed below.
- Patients on hormone or anticoagulation therapy and those who have a history of head and neck radiation therapy will be excluded.
- All study candidates will be assessed for external nasal valve collapse via the modified Cottle maneuver, and will be excluded if they exhibit significant external or internal nasal valve collapse as their primary cause of their nasal obstruction.
- All patients will complete the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on nasal obstruction before and after decongestion at their preoperative visit. Patients that fail to report a score less than 5 after decongestion are likely to have bony rather than soft tissue hypertrophy. In these patients MAIT is unlikely to be an adequate surgical option, and they would derive a greater amount of benefit from SMR. Therefore these patients will be excluded from the study, and offered only SMR.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Unable to recruit enough patients). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Score in MAIT vs SMR treated patients (time frame: 3 years post-operative). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
