3D Printing to Improve Nasal Irrigation Outcome
NCT06118554 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been an emerging technology with uses in a wide array of fields. This research aims to use 3D printing as a tool to provide personalized education to maximize treatment efficacy based on the patient's individual anatomy. With increased irrigation to the sinuses, we hypothesize there will be improved patient satisfaction and higher quality of life. The outcomes of this research could lead to a new option for patients who live with chronic rhinosinusitis are not candidates for surgery or are interested in less invasive options. The 3D printed nasal replica is not something that would be implanted, rather it is a hand-held device used specifically for participants to better understand their nasal anatomy.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06118554
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06118554 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. 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 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Ohio State University, which has 640 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 Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Irrigation head position 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: NCT06118554 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. 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.
