Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the recurrence rate of epistaxis between the two groups

    "Proportion of participants whose epistaxis stops completely within 7 days of treatment application."

    14 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • To assess time to symptom resolution

    Within 24 hours

  • To evaluate mucosal healing (endoscopic findings)

    7-14 days

  • To assess patient comfort and compliance

    7 days

  • To record adverse effects

    14 days

Study Arms (2)

Hyaluronic Acid Gel

EXPERIMENTAL

"Participants in this group will receive topical hyaluronic acid gel applied to the nasal mucosa for the treatment of epistaxis. The application will be done as per the study protocol, and outcomes will be monitored over the study period."

Drug: Hyaluronic Acid Gel

Petroleum Jelly

EXPERIMENTAL

"Participants in this group will receive topical petroleum jelly applied to the nasal mucosa for the treatment of epistaxis. The application will follow the study protocol, and outcomes will be monitored over the study period."

Drug: Petroleum jelly

Interventions

"Topical hyaluronic acid gel will be applied to the nasal mucosa of participants for the treatment of epistaxis. The gel will be administered according to the study protocol and frequency, and outcomes will be assessed throughout the study period."
