Clinical Trial Description

Rhino sinusitis is one of the most common health-care problems worldwide and its prevalence and incidence is increasing. Chronic Sinusitis is a big health problem worldwide that affects almost 15% of humans. The most affected sinus is the maxillary sinus as its drainage orifice through the hiatus semilunaris is badly placed near the roof of the sinus. The first line of treatment for sinusitis is mostly medical drugs including antimicrobial drugs, decongestants, nasal sprays, corticosteroids, and antihistamine drugs which can effectively dry the mucus. Physical therapy also offers a variety of treatment approaches for sinusitis. It includes various electrotherapy modalities, manual drainage techniques, suboccipital release for sinus headaches, needling, and rhino flow therapy. In spite of many studies and treatment approaches done on sinusitis, there are limitations faced in evidence of which approval is most effective, The objective of our study is to investigate the effect of physical therapy protocol in people with chronic maxillary sinusitis.sixty six patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis will be allocated randomly to three groups; one group will receive physical therapy protocol, second one will receive medication only and the third one will receive physical therapy protocol and medication for four weeks. ;
