About this study

  • To evaluate the results of Metzenbaum 's technique in correction of the Caudal end septal deviation on nasal airway obstruction
Read the detailed description

Deviation of Nasal septum in different parts may have various functional or aesthetic effects . The etiology of a deviated septum is generally congenital, but may also be as a result of trauma or iatrogenic causes. Most important is the Caudal septal deviation which narrows the airway and impairs major mechanisms supporting the tip, leading to tip-ptosis and airway collapse. .The correction of caudal septal deviations can be a challenging problem so many techniques have been described and tested to correct caudal septal deflections . Attempts to correct nasal septal deformities were described in the medical literature as early as the late 19th century , and till now there is not one specific technique that is agreed upon by surgeons worldwide.

What is being measured

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

  1. the caudal end deviation of the nasal septum corrected is measured by photographic documentation

    Photographs will be taken in the 6 dimensional (frontal,basal, lateral and oblique) views of the nose at two points ,First photograph set will be taken in preoperative period. The second photograph set will taken at six months follow up. Both these photographs will be shown to the patient and he/she was asked to give a score to rate the difference in appearance on a 4 point scale 4 point scale for evaluating postoperative outcome

    1. Little/no photographic evidence of residual caudal septal deviation.
    2. Marked improvement but was still detectable by careful observation.
    3. Mild improvement/not improved.
    4. Made worse after surgical intervention.

    Measured: 6 month

  2. air way obstruction which will be be evaluated by The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale score questionnaire

    The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale score is a questionnaire that each patient will take to compare the symptoms of air way obstruction improvement after surgery . the patients will take it at two points , first in pre - operative assessment and second in post operative follow up after 2 month

    Measured: 2 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nasal Septal Caudal Dislocation, run by Assiut University.

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 3 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 26 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact madonna atef aziz (01275844850, didotoffy@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the caudal end deviation of the nasal septum corrected is measured by photographic documentation (time frame: 6 month). The study lists 2 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 NCT04323111, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 26 Mar 2020.
