JOURNAL TITLE: An International Journal Clinical Rhinology
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a very common disorder in ENT practice. There are many modalities available for the treatment and control of symptoms of allergic rhinosinusitis, varying from antihistamines, corticosteroids, mast cell stabilizers in oral and topical formulations.
The present study was planned to see the influence of nasal saline irrigation on symptomatology of chronic rhinosinusitis.
Qualitative study using a questionnaire.
Nasal saline irrigation (NSI) was advised to 53 patients twice a day along with anti-allergic treatment. The control group consists of 47 allergic patients who received only anti-allergic treatment.
The symptom score significantly (p < 0.001) improved in the group 1 patients using nasal saline irrigation along with anti-allergic treatment.
the results of the study suggest that concomitant use of NSI with anti-allergic treatment gives much more satisfactory results than with only anti-allergic treatment in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
