Chronic Rhinosinusitis With or Without Nasal Polyps Steroid Study

NCT00841802 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-04-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a study to evaluate the cause of chronic sinus disease. Oral steroids have long been used in the treatment of inflammatory conditions including chronic sinusitis, asthma, and arthritis. However, it is not well known exactly which patients will benefit from steroids when used in the treatment of chronic sinusitis. For some doctors, it is common practice to use these medications prior to planned sinus surgery, to lessen the inflammation and possibly help the healing process. Other doctors feel oral steroids may not be helpful in this way, and there is no conclusive data as to whether this practice has a long term benefit.
