THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NASAL SALINE IRRIGATION IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent condition characterized by persistent inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa lasting more than 12 weeks. It significantly impacts the quality of life due to symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, postnasal drip, and hyposmia. Management of CRS includes medical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and surgical interventions for refractory cases. Non-surgical approaches remain the first line of treatment, aiming to reduce mucosal inflammation, enhance mucociliary clearance, and alleviate symptoms.
