Clinical Trial Summary

Oral corticosteroids are commonly utilized for the management of chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps (CRSwNP and CRSsNP, respectively). Although strong evidence supports the benefit of routine and perioperative oral corticosteroids for CRSwNP, there is limited evidence to support their utility for CRSsNP. The investigators intend to perform a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial to investigate the impact of steroids used within 2 weeks prior to surgery for CRSsNP. Patients with CRSsNP that present to the investigators office will be included if they have failed maximal medical management and have elected to undergo endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) after July 1, 2014. The investigators hypothesis is that oral corticosteroids given 2 weeks prior to surgery will improve subjective and objective outcome measures.
