About this trial

Topical nasal steroids are significant therapeutic options for allergic rhinitis (AR). The distribution of intranasal steroid spray (INS) administration is less than that of irrigation. However, the available data on steroid nasal irrigation is limited. This article aims to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects (AEs) of steroid irrigation in AR patients.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants aged 18-60 years diagnosed with perennial allergic rhinitis based on ARIA guidelines, who have previously consistently used intranasal corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks with inadequate control of nasal inflammation defined by a VAS score of ≥5 out of 10 and requiring dosage adjustment. Noted that proper technique should have been confirmed through retrospective questioning.

Disqualifiers

Those with a history of sinus surgery, nasal or sinus tumors (including polyps), significant deviated nasal septum causing symptoms, oral corticosteroid uses for any indication, immunodeficiency, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or suspected fungal sinusitis indicated by ischemic nasal tissue, fungal masses, bone erosion, or calcifications on imaging were excluded. Participants would be withdrawn if severe complications arise from the use of topical budesonide.
