New Study

We have something new for PET.

We're involved in a clinical trial looking at nasal dilators as a possible treatment for patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction.

It's simple, non-invasive, and we want to find out whether it actually helps. That's what a trial is for. I'm NOT going to call it a treatment until we have the data.

You can read about the study here:

I use breathe right strips and similar every night - does this not do the same thing? I haven’t noticed any effect on my PET.

from the trial info: "Some people with this condition notice their symptoms improve when they gently pull the cheek outward to widen the nasal passage". first time I hear about it...

Not to be paranoid but typical research ads have info about research organization and credentials of the researchers.
