Chronic rhinosinusitis is one of the most commonly diagnosed medical conditions affecting all age groups. Hypertonic saline solution and isotonic saline solution are used in management of chronic rhinosinusitis. In this study we compare the effectiveness of isotonic saline and hypertonic saline in alleviation of symptoms and clinical outcome of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. In our study 60 patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis are divided into two groups; Group A treated with isotonic saline and Group B with 3.5% hypertonic saline for a period of 6 weeks. The symptoms were evaluated using SNOT-20 score before and after treatment. It was found that hypertonic saline solution is more efficacious than isotonic saline solution in the treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
慢性鼻窦炎是最常被诊断出的影响所有年龄组的病症之一。高渗盐溶液和等渗盐溶液用于慢性鼻窦炎的治疗。在本研究中,我们比较了等渗盐水和高渗盐水在缓解慢性鼻窦炎患者症状及临床疗效方面的有效性。在我们的研究中,60例被诊断为慢性鼻窦炎的患者被分为两组;A组用等渗盐水治疗,B组用3.5%的高渗盐水治疗,为期6周。治疗前后使用鼻窦症状测试-20(SNOT-20)评分对症状进行评估。结果发现,高渗盐溶液在治疗慢性鼻窦炎患者方面比等渗盐溶液更有效。
