What is the Best Treatment for Nasal Polyps ?

 


Glucocorticoid is the first-line treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. However, the appropriate dose and the duration of treatment remain unknown. In China, nasal spray is widely used in Nasal Polyps patients, and patients with asthma or with recurrent nasal polyps will be treated with oral steroids for one to two weeks or even longer to control the symptoms. 

However, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that the regular dose of nasal spray is not enough for disease control. Although the safety of short- course oral steroids has been demonstrated by clinical trials, repeated use of short-course oral steroids for more than two courses per year may increase the risk of osteoporosis.Recently, some physicians have recommended high dose local steroids as an effective and safe way to treat Nasal Polyps. In clinical observation, the endoscopic score and clinical symptoms of recurrent Nasal Polyps patients improved significantly at the end of one to two weeks of treatment with budesonide nasal drop. 


 

Treating Nasal Polyps patients with high-dose local steroids (budesonide suspension nasal drop) and oral steroids for one week could significantly improve subjective and objective symptoms. The reduction in TNSS in the oral steroid and nasal drop groups was signifi-cantly greater than that in the nasal spray group. The symptom reduction rate was also slightly greater in the nasal drop group than in the nasal spray group, which means that more patients in the high¬dose local steroid group and oral steroid group responded to glucocorticoid treatment. 

In a study, the analysis of individual symptoms showed that nasal obstruction changed signifi¬cantly, and short-term steroids mainly relieved rhinologic symptoms. As for objective symptoms, both the oral steroid group and the nasal drop group showed a greater reduction in Nasal Polyps score than that in the nasal spray group.

Is There Anyway to Cure Nasal Polyps without Surgery ?

Hình ảnh
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis ( nose polyps ) is a numbrella term for a heterogeneous group of inflammatory disorders characterized by persistent polypoid inflammation ofthe sino nasal mucosa (>_12 weeks) and nasal obstruction. Symptoms are often severe and only partially responsive to treatment, and disease is commonly associated with difficult-to-treat asthma. There is an urgent unmet clinical need to understand the immuno pathology of Nasal polyps.  Several studies have indicated regional variation in nasal polyps endotypes. Western countries show a predominance of eosinophilic TH2-associated polyps, and Staphylococcus aureussuperantigens have beenimplicated in driving the TH2 response. Nasal polyps reveals frequent epithelial damage, a thickened  basementmembrane, oedema, fibrotic foci and a reduced number of vessels and glands. The stroma of Nasal polyps contains abundant infiltration of inflammatory cells,predominantly activated eosinophils and increased...

How to Diagnose NOSE Polyps ? How to Cure Nose Polyps at Home ?

To diagnose nose polps,  a fiberoptic rhinoscopic examination is essential to diagnose the Nose Polyps phenotype before initiating medical treatment. Anterior rhinoscopy only visualizes the anterior one- third of the nasal cavity and is inadequate to visualize the posterior nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Rhinoscopy is a simple, low-risk, cost-effective procedure that should be performed routinely in subjects with persistent upper airway problems. Just as office spirometry is a routine procedure to assist in the diagnosis of airflow obstruction, so too should rhinoscopy be used regularly for Nose Polyps. The primary objective outcome of phase III clinical trials of dupilumab and phase II clinical trials of other biologic agents is based on the Nose Polyps scores as determined by rhinoscopy. ’ Rhinoscopy is also important to identify other abnormalities of the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx. These abnormalities may include enlarged adenoids, often associated with sleep apnea in chi...

Can Nasal Polyps Be Serious ? ( Must Read )

Severe nasal polyposis can cause deformities of the nose and face. This phenomenon is called Woakes’ syndrome. The facial deformity in our patient was caused by pressure from nasal polyposis that filled the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Using the midface degloving approach, we performed osteotomy of the nasal bone, shaved the .The facial deformity of Woakes’ syndrome involved the nasal and facial bones and nasal cartilaginous tissue. In severe cases, excessive prominence of the malar region and orbital hypertelorism have been reported . Patient had broadening of the nose and excessive prominence of the malar regions without orbital hypertelorism. We believe that inflammation associated with 30 years of chronic sinusitis caused enlargement of the nasal polyps, leading to the exertion of physical pressure on the neighbouring bones and cartilage.   Several reports discuss the cosmetic treatment of the nose after nasal polyp removal. Laff performed nasal plastic repair with osteo...
