Breathe easier with advanced nasal polyp treatment at Modena Health. Our team offers innovative solutions designed to relieve congestion, restore airflow, and reduce the chances of polyp regrowth, helping you feel better, longer.
Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that form in the sinuses and extend into the nasal passages. Though painless, they can cause significant discomfort by triggering chronic inflammation, which often leads to ongoing sinus infections, nasal congestion, and a reduced sense of taste or smell.
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) can cause persistent drainage, sinus pressure, and overwhelming fatigue. CRSwNP is frequently associated with other inflammatory conditions, such as asthma and NSAID sensitivity (allergic reactions to common pain relievers like ibuprofen or aspirin).
For years, the most definitive treatments for nasal polyps were surgery (called polypectomy) and steroid medications like nasal sprays. However, research shows that polyps can recur up to 60% of the time following surgery. And steroid medications used to treat polyps can cause both short-term and permanent side effects, being linked to weight gain, diabetes, osteoporosis, psychological problems, and infections like pneumonia. At Modena of Solana Beach, we offer today's most innovative nasal polyp treatments, targeting inflammation of the nasal canal and foregoing the need for steroids or repeated surgeries.
At Modena Health, we’re redefining how chronic conditions like nasal polyps are treated, combining advanced research with personalized care. Dr. Modena’s research focuses on the intersection of microbiome science, genetics, inflammatory biomarkers, and machine learning to tailor treatment strategies for each individual.
We are among the first clinics to integrate predictive modeling and artificial intelligence into everyday care, helping patients receive the most effective therapies, such as carefully selected monoclonal antibody treatments or other innovative alternatives. In addition, our patients enjoy access to advanced diagnostic tools and ongoing clinical trials. For patients in Solana Beach and beyond, nasal polyps no longer have to interfere with your comfort or quality of life.
Nasal polyps are caused by chronic inflammation. They start in the nasal sinuses and grow into the nasal passages, leading to recurrent or ongoing sinus infections and issues with tasting and smelling. People Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNPs), deal with persistent nasal congestion, drainage, sinus pressure and pain. As a result, they may also experience debilitating fatigue. Nasal polyps are often linked to other health issues such as asthma and sensitivity to common pain relievers like NSAIDs.
At Modena Health, we’re currently enrolling volunteers from the Solana Beach area for three clinical trials focused on treating nasal polyps. Participants may receive complimentary study-related care, including exams, medications, and supplies, along with compensation of up to $100 per visit and added travel support.
A Phase 3 trial that aims to determine the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug treatment for nasal polyps. This study includes a control group receiving a placebo.
A Phase 4 trial studying the long-term benefits of a therapy that is already FDA-approved for the treatment of nasal polyps. There is no placebo group in this study.
A Phase 4 trial comparing the efficacy of two FDA-approved therapies at reducing the size of polyps and improving sense of smell. There is no placebo group in this study.
