ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how changes in atmospheric pressure, like what you might experience during weather changes, might affect blood pressure and potentially lead to nosebleeds (called epistaxis). The researchers want to understand if these pressure changes play a role in why some people have nosebleeds, whether they are currently bleeding or have had a nosebleed in the past.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have visited the emergency department for a nosebleed. The trial is open to anyone living in central districts of Ankara, but unfortunately, it does not include people under 18, pregnant women, or those who have had certain surgeries or injuries related to their face. If you decide to join, you will be helping researchers gather important information that could improve our understanding of this common issue.
