About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between the Direction and Degree of Nasal Septal Deviation and Nasal Bone Morphology

The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the direction and degree of nasal septal deviation with nasal bone morphology , along with factors such as age and gender.

Read the detailed description

The nasal septum is located in the middle of the nasal cavity and it forms the major part of the nose structure. It is divided into a posterior part by the vomer and perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone and an anterior part by the quadrangular cartilage .

In the growth period, the nasal septum acts as a growth plate that affects surrounding bones and facial skeletal tissues .Thus, nasal septum deviation affects facial morphologic parameters such as interalveolar distance and maxillary rotation distance, causing compensatory changes in the lateral nasal wall and septal deviation,which are associated with nasal floor and palatal region asymmetries .

Nasal septum deviation is the most common anatomic variation in up to 80% of healthy adults .

From the initial growth stages, the maxillary bone and nasal structure have significant anatomic connections because of their close embryologic development.

The severity of septal deviation also affects the ipsilateral lateral lamina of the cribriform plate width and ipsilateral middle turbinate length . Nasal septal deviation may affect nasal bone growth and facial morphology .Knowledge of nasal morphologic parameters plays an important role in planning successful rhinoplasty and septoplasty operations.

Some morphological characteristics of the nose such as bone length and thickness may present different forms according to factors correlated with age, gender, climate and race.

Being tested
Maxillofacial CT

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Maxillofacial CTRadiation

    clinical and maxillofacial CT data will be tabulated and analysed using by computer software e.g. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The nasal deviation angle

    It will be measured on coronal CT images as the angle between the most deviated point of the septum and the midline which is the line from the crista galli to the palatum

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. The lateral and intermediate nasal bone thickness

    The nasal bone thickness will be measured in axial images at the site of the lateral and intermediate osteotomy lines.

    The lateral osteotomy lines run along nasomaxillary suture and intermediate (or midline) osteotomy lines runs along the internasal suture.

    The lateral nasal bone thickness will be measured at the nasomaxillary suture. Intermediate nasal bone thickness was measured at the midpoint between the nasomaxillary suture and the rhinion .

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Nasal bone length

    The nasal bone length will be measured from frontonasal suture to the endpoint of the nasal bone on the sagittal plane

    Measured: 10 minutes

  4. Internasal angle

    The internasal angle will be measured on coronal CT images at the site of the nasion point

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nasal Septal Deviation, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2018. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

The nasal deviation angle (time frame: 10 minutes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03300245, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jul 2018.
