Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

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.

A vizsgálat 3 csoportja

• Control groupMár használt kezelés, összehasonlításként

  The control group (CG) irrigated in the standard FDA consumer-recommended position, defined as leaning forward with a natural ear-to-shoulder head tilt.

  Kezelés: Irrigation head position

• Backfill groupA vizsgált kezelés

  Backfill group (BG) subjects irrigated with a head tilt of 90 degrees ear-to-shoulder and used the nostril closest to the ground.

• Model groupA vizsgált kezelés

  Finally, the model group (MG) irrigated in an optimal position based on their 3D nasal replica. This patient-specific position was communicated to each MG patient with clear instructions during an in-person training session.
