About this study

Official title: Effects of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Chronic Non-allergic Rhinosinusitis: a Randomised Placebo-controlled Trial

Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. Moreover, the pathophysiology is poorly understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in the course of this condition by applying several techniques supposed to be related to the autonomic nervous system. Our hypothesis is that these techniques could have beneficial effects on inflammation and head symptoms in CRS.

A sample of 90 patients diagnosed by ENT specialist will be randomly assigned to the OMT group or the placebo group. The placebo procedure will consist in using light touch around the nose, on the throat and on the thorax. Treatment and placebo protocols are composed of two visits at day 0 and day 30.

A general practitioner will determine the eligibility for the study.

The outcomes include Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) measured five times: at day 0, 30 (twice each, before and after treatment) and 180 (once). The two groups will be compared regarding short and long term evolution.

The evolution of symptoms will be assessed by the Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) seven times: at day 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180. This outcome will be analyzed using mixed effect modelling

A Qualitative study will be conducted in the two groups to understand the patients' experiences during care.

This protocol has been approved by a french ethic committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Sud Ouest et Outre-Mer II, 2020.04.09).

Read the detailed description

Statistical analysis details:

PNIF middle term evolution:

If the two groups can be compared regarding their socio-demographics characteristics, a student's t-test will compare evolution (day 0 before treatment to day 30 before treatment) of the PNIF between groups.

If characteristics are different, a multivariate linear model will be applied.

PNIF long term evolution:

The same tests will be made. The evolution will be assessed between day 0 (before treatment) and day 180.

PNIF short term evolution:

The same tests will be made. The evolution will be assessed before and after treatment at day 0 and day 30.

SNOT-22 evolution:

Mixed effect model will assess the evolution of symptoms from day 0 to day 180

Response Shift detection:

For the SNOT-22, an Oort procedure will be performed in order to detect Response shift among individuals.

What participants receive

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

  • Osteopathic manipulative treatmentOther

    Osteopaths will executed several high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) techniques on the upper thoracic spine and cervical spine. These techniques are assumed to modulate the sympathetic cervical ganglia and reduce inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis.

    This procedure takes around 15 minutes.

  • Placebo manipulationOther

    The osteopath will lay hands without movement on the nose, the throat and the thorax of patients.

    This procedure takes around 15 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF)

    The aim of this outcome is to measure change in nasal airflow during maximal inspiration with a facial mask.

    Measured: PNIF will be perform at day 0 (before treatment) and at day 30 (before treatment)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Sino-nasal Outcomes Test 22 (SNOT-22)

    This is a symptom-based rhinosinusitis questionnaire. Possible total scores range from 0 to 110, where a higher score indicates worse symptoms.

    Measured: Patients will complete the questionnaire at baseline (day 0), day 30, day 60, day 90, day 120, day 150 and day 180 to assess the change over time

  2. Patient-reported experience of care

    Individual interviews will enable to document the personal experience during effective or placebo treatment.

    Measured: Interview will occur at day 180

  3. Sort term change in peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF)

    The aim of this outcome is to measure change before and after each treatment in nasal airflow during maximal inspiration with a facial mask.

    Measured: PNIF will be perform at day 0 (before and after treatment), day 30 (before and after treatment)

  4. long term change in peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF)

    The aim of this outcome is to measure change in nasal airflow during maximal inspiration with a facial mask from base line to day 180.

    Measured: PNIF will be perform at day 0 (before treatment) and at day 180.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Osteopathic manipulative treatment in people with Rhinosinusitis Chronic, run by Institut des Hautes Etudes Osteopathiques de Nantes at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2023. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) (time frame: PNIF will be perform at day 0 (before treatment) and at day 30 (before treatment)). 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 1 Aug 2023.
