Antibiotics Versus Therapeutic Ultrasound for Sinusitis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Question: Is the effect of therapeutic ultrasound equally effective to antibiotic for treatment of sinusitis? Design: A randomized clinical trial with concealed allocation, self-assessment by the subjects and intention-to-treat analysis.

Clinical Trial Description

Subjects (n=48) with clinically diagnosed acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS)will included. The antibiotic group will receive amoxicillin (500 mg) 3 times per day for 10 days. The ultrasound group will receive therapeutic ultrasound over sinuses at 1.0 W/cm2 in continuous mode for 10 minutes once a day for 4 consecutive days. Improvement of symptoms (pain and congestion; numeric rating scale; 0-10) from day 1 to days 4 and 21 will be recorded. Relapses, side-effects and satisfaction with treatment will be assessed at one-year follow-up. ;
