According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 50 participants, and all 50 completed the study — none dropped out. The trial involved children with sinus problems who underwent a procedure called balloon sinus dilation, where a small balloon is gently inflated inside the sinus passages. The study was measuring whether the balloon device could be successfully used to open the sinuses, whether any serious complications occurred, and how participants' sinus-related quality of life changed over time. The reported data shows that out of all the sinus dilation attempts made during the procedures, 157 were recorded as technically successful — meaning the device was delivered to the target sinus, inflated, deflated, and removed as intended. The reported data also shows that zero participants experienced a serious complication related to the device or procedure, and zero participants needed any additional or follow-up sinus surgery during the study period. For quality of life, caregivers completed a sinus symptom survey (called the SN-5) before and after the procedure, where scores range from 1 (best) to 7 (worst). The reported data shows an average change of −2.9 points, meaning scores moved in the direction of fewer reported symptoms on that scale. It is worth noting that this trial had only one group — everyone received the balloon sinus dilation procedure — so there was no comparison group receiving a different or no treatment.
