SinuSonic for ETD and Facial Pain: Acoustic Vibration + Oscillating Expiratory Pressure
NCT04404036 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study was originally designed with three aims: (1) healthy controls to assess nasal nitric oxide, (2) adults with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD), and (3) adults with facial pain/pressure. However, only the ETD cohort (Aim 2) was initiated and enrolled. During study conduct, additional symptom and pain assessments (including MPQ-SF and mBPI-sf) were collected in the ETD cohort for exploratory purposes. All results in this record reflect ETD cohort participants who used the SinuSonic device twice daily for 6 weeks.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04404036
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04404036 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 30 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Medical University of South Carolina, which has 643 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Facial Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which SinuSonic Device is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04404036 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include South Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
