Trial summary

Nasal polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal and sinus mucosa leading to protrusion of edematous polyps in the nasal cavity. Prevalence of NP among the chronic rhinosinusitis patients is 25-30 %. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery on Sleep Disorder in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyps

Nasal polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal and sinus mucosa leading to protrusion of edematous polyps in the nasal cavity. Prevalence of NP among the chronic rhinosinusitis patients is 25-30 %. NP leads to significant limitations in physical, emotional and social aspects of life of the affected patients. Sleep disorder is frequently reported by those patients with impaired nasal breathing. Till now few studies have objectively assessed the impact of NP on sleep quality. the objectives are to figure out sleep disturbances in NP and to analyze the outcomes of sinus surgery on sleep recovering.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic sinus surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Surgical procedure under general anaesthesia:

    Consists of the removal of bone boundaries between sinus cavities (ethmoidectomy) with nasal polyps resection in order to retrieve nasal patency and sinus drainage Polysomnographic assessment as routinely applied in clinical practice

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Slow-wave sleep duration

    Slow-wave sleep duration is measured one month before surgery and 3 months after surgery

    Measured: 1 month before surgery and 3 months postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. change in total sleep duration

    duration in min of total sleep at each endpoint

    Measured: At 1 month before surgery and at 3 months postoperatively

  2. Change in the number of brief wakefulness

    comparison of the number of wakefulness between visits

    Measured: At 1 month before surgery and at 3 months postoperatively

  3. change in Apnea-hypopnea index

    This index measures the number of apnea and hypopnea during the total sleep duration.

    Measured: At 1 month before surgery and at 3 months postoperatively

  4. Change in time with oxygen desaturation below 90%

    desaturation before anf after surgery measured

    Measured: At 1 month before surgery and at 3 months postoperatively

  5. change in Epworth sleepiness scale scores

    The Epworth sleepiness scale score is a questionnaire based of 8 questions assessing daytime sleepiness. Each question is graded from 0 to 3. A total score ranging from 0 to 24 is established:

    1 to 6 points: Normal sleep 7 to 8 points: Average sleepiness 9 to 24 points: Abnormal (possibly pathologic) sleepiness

    Measured: At 1 month before surgery and at 3 months postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic sinus surgery in people with Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Lille 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 3 inclusion and 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2026. 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Geoffrey Mortuaire, MD (03 20 44 56 72 ext. +33, geoffrey.mortuaire@chru-lille.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Slow-wave sleep duration (time frame: 1 month before surgery and 3 months postoperatively). 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 6 May 2026.
