[Nasal endoscope negative pressure cleaning and sinupret drops to treat radiation nasosinusitis].

OBJECTIVE

To observe the effect of nasal endoscope negative pressure cleaning and sinupret drops to treat radiation nasosinusitis (RNS).

METHOD: One hundred and fifty-three patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were randomly divided into treatment group A, B, C . Group A using nasal endoscope negative pressure cleaning and sinupret drops, group B using nasal endoscope negative pressure cleaning and normal saline spray washing, group C using saline nasal irrigation through nasal catheter. All patients with sinusitis condition were evaluated at the end of radiotherapy, three months and six months after radiotherapy.

RESULT: Comparison between groups, three periods of RNS incidence, moderate to severe RNS incidence are A < B < C. Six months after radiotherapy, group A compared with group C, there are significant difference (P < 0.01), group A and group C compared with group B respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Nasal endoscope negative pressure cleaning and sinupret drops can significantly reduce the long-term incidence of RNS, especially obviously reduce the incidence of moderate to severe RNS,which is a practical and effective method to treat RNS.
