¸ñÀû: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common inflammatory condition in
western countries. Nasal polyposis has different symptoms such as
nasal obstruction, anterior or posterior nasal drip, reduced sense
of smell, and facial pain. Medical and endoscopic Treatments are
the two Main treatments for nasal polyposis. Our aim was to
compare the efficacy of different methods on Olfactory function ¹æ¹ý:This non-randomized clinical study was done on 60 patients who
were divided into two groups. Patients were matched based on
age, history of smoking, and the severity of obstruction. The
score of Lund-Mackay staging system was used to match patients
in two arms of the trial based on the severity of nasal
obstruction. Patients in surgery groups underwent functional
endoscopic sinus surgery and then received Fluticasone
propionate nasal spray for 8 weeks (400 mcg bd).Patients
in the medical group were only prescribed with Fluticasone
propionate with the same duration and same dose as mentioned °á°ú:As a result of treatment protocol, both medical and surgical group
experienced improvement in olfactory function but statistical analyses revealed that surgery resulted in better resolution of symptoms °á·Ð:Our observation revealed that combined treatment had a better
effect than medical treatment in restoring olfaction in patients
with nasal polyposis. |
