Filter by:Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, acute rhino sinusitis, and nasal polyposis are examples of common inflammatory disorders of the airway that significantly reduce patient health and quality of life. Intranasal corticosteroids are advised as part of treatment plans for each of these illnesses since they help to reduce inflammation and thus symptoms. Objective In order to assess the effectiveness and safety of a new nano formulation of Mometasone furoate nano-nasal spray (FM-NNS) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Mometasone Furoate Nano-nasal spray (FM-NNS) was compared with commercial available nasal spray named as MFNS.
This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Xolair® in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in routine clinical practice.
Topical and systemic steroids constitute the first choice in medical treatment for nasal polyps. Glucocorticoids sensitivity is significantly correlated with CST1 level in nasal secretions. The goal of this single-arm clinical trial based on a multicenter platform is to test CST1 in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps before and after oral glucocorticoid therapy. Endoscopic polyp score, Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS), SNOT-22 score and other biomarkers are also evaluated before and after the treatment. Researchers will develop a CST1 predictive model of oral glucocorticoid therapy for Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Polyps.
There is a strong case for treating diseases of both the upper and lower airways (global airways) simultaneously because they share the same inflammatory mechanisms. About 9% have chronic sinusitis (CRS) and 4% of the Danish population are diagnosed with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP)) and 7-10% have asthma. CRS has a multifactorial background, with CRSwNP characterized by Type 2 inflammation, and approximately 50% with Type 2 CRSwNP also have co-morbid asthma. Well-treated CRS has an impact on asthma control, and well-treated asthma has an impact on CRS. Several studies show that patients with asthma have low adherence, but only a few if any of studies are available on adherence in CRS. Aim: To investigate the effect of systematic and structured nursing supervision in patients with CRSwNP and asthma primarily on adherence. Hypothesis and research questions: Patients with respiratory diseases can improve their adherence to their non-medical and medical treatment for CRSwNP/CRS and asthma by systematic and structured nursing supervision compared to patients who receive usual care. In a randomized clinical trial, we will investigate whether the level of adherence measured by the questionnaire MARS-5-N and MARS-5- L in patients with CRSwNP and asthma can be improved by 7 points after systematic and structured nursing guidance at baseline visit and controlled after four months - compared with those patients who have not received the above guidance. Primary outcome: is change in adherence rate measured by the MARS-5-N/L questionnaire in patients with CRSwNP and asthma can be improved by 4 points after systematic and structured nursing guidance at the initial visit and controlled after four months - compared with patients who have not received the above guidance. Inclusion Criteria: Adherence to MARS- 5 L/N ≤35 at first visit, diagnosed with asthma (with/without allergic rhinitis) at initial visit, diagnosed with CRSwNP, able to use smartphone, ACQ ≥1.2 or ACT≤15 (partially uncontrolled asthma), >18 years of age, SNOT-22 score ≥35 Exclusion Criteria: - Adherence to MARS-5- L/N >35 points at first visit,do not have smartphone, does not read/speak English, other illness requiring regular medication, pregnancy/pregnancy that started during the study, server psychological comorbidities Questionnaires: Patients must answer the following questionnaires at baseline and at 4 months follow up ESS, SNOT-22, ACQ-7, ACT, MiniAqLq, HADS, STARR-15
An inflammatory component associated with AMD has been highlighted by genetic associations of predisposition to AMD, as well as by the recently demonstrated link between AMD and periodontitis. Some patients followed at the Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital for wet AMD seemed to show an improvement of neovascular activity (less need for intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF) after treatment of their sinusitis. The investigators would therefore like to assess the link between AMD and sinusitis, an infection close to the site of AMD.
This is a double-blind, randomized, double-blind, randomized, double-blind, randomized block design with two intervention groups of 30 patients each. Patients not recruited at the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic of the Regional University Hospital of the North of Paraná and the University Hospital Specialties Ambulatory will be included in the study of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis are randomly divided with stratification for the presence of two groups of patients. 30 patients, with 9 asthmatics in each). Of the nasal nasal with 2mg budesonide diluted in high daily volume added to the corticosteroid injectable injectable and the topic for 16 weeks compared to placebo. The Polyp Score (NPS), Sono-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), University of Pennsylvania Olfactory Identification Test (UPSIT), peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), visual scales preoperative tomography, acoustic rhinometry, computerized rhinomanometry and nasal endoscopy before and after the treatments.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetic disorder in Belgium, affecting 1 in 2850 children. A defect in the CFTR channel results in increased viscosity of extracellular secretions and decreased mucociliary clearance in the airways. As a result of this mechanism, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) occurs in nearly 100% of CF patients. CRS can lead to pronounced sinonasal complaints and can have a negative impact on the quality of life. In addition, several studies have shown that poor upper airway control has a negative impact on the lower airways. Unfortunately, treatment options are limited. Our previous study has shown that only 21% of patients have well-controlled CRS. The aim of this single-center, randomized cross-over study is to compare the effect of nasal rinses with (XNI) and without (SNI) Xylitol in the treatment of CF-CRS. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is already used as an antibiofilm agent,eg in the prevention of caries. Previous pilot studies have already shown a beneficial effect of XNI in the treatment of non-CF CRS.
the study is intended to test the effect of Nigella sativa nasal oil drops on selected outcomes among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis using prospective clinical trial design. To achieve the aim of the current trial the following research hypotheses are postulated: H1. The total severity of symptoms mean scores of patients with CRS who will use Nigella sativa nasal oil drops will be different from the total severity of symptoms mean scores of a control group. H2. The total sleep quality mean scores of patients with CRS who will use Nigella sativa nasal oil drops will be different from the total sleep quality mean scores of a control group. H3. The total patient satisfaction mean scores of patients with CRS who will use Nigella sativa nasal oil drops will be different from the total patient satisfaction mean scores of a control group.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a frequent complication of facial cancer treatment, mainly related to radiotherapy. However, while radiological involvement is frequent, clinical expression seems less important. Few studies have investigated the incidence of this condition in the pediatric population while its evolution seems to be very chronic even if a partial improvement may occur with time. Our objective is therefore to study the impact of CSR in children treated for cancer of the cervicofacial region, to evaluate its incidence and medium-term evolution in order to determine whether it is necessary to set up a specific follow-up in these patients. The clinical impact of CSR is assessed by a specific SNOT 22 questionnaire in children treated for a head-neck mesenchymal malignancy in comparison with a control population consisting of children treated for a mesenchymal malignancy of non-head-neck location.
Chronic sinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory condition of the sinuses that affects up to 2.5% of the Canadian population, and is thought to be caused by bacterial infection, resistant biofilms, chronic inflammation and possibly an unhealthy population of sinus microbes (or microbiota). Symptoms include nasal obstruction and discharge, facial pain, loss of smell and sleep disturbance, which all strongly impact quality of life. CRS treatment involves nasal or oral steroids, repeated rounds of antibiotic, and sinus surgery. Despite maximal treatment, some recalcitrant patients suffer with CRS for years. The lack of new, effective therapies to treat CRS leads the investigators to test whether a SinoNasal Microbiota Transfer (SNMT) could trigger CRS recovery. SNMT is defined as the endoscopic transfer of a healthy sinus microbiota from a fully screened donor's sinus to a CRS patient's sinus(es). Similar to a fecal transplant used to treat Clostridioides difficile diarrhea, the sinonasal microbiota transfer may eliminate sinus pathogens and restore the sinus microbiota to a healthy state. SNMT will be combined with a one-time, high volume, high pressure "sinus power wash" pre-treatment to temporarily clear the way for the donor microbiota to establish itself. The investigators will conduct a proof-of-principle, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 80 subjects to test whether a sinus power wash plus SNMT improves clinical outcomes in CRS patients.
