No results posted yet for this study

Summary

All adult (over 19 years) patients undergoing sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) or allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) that do not meet the exclusion criteria will be included in the study.

All participants enrolled in the study will receive antibiotic (Clavulin) therapy 1-week pre-and post-operatively and oral steroid therapy 1-week pre-operatively and post-operatively.

Randomization of patients to the Manuka Honey irrigation (treatment arm) and Saline irrigation (standard of care) will occur on the day of surgery.

Participants in both study arms will undergo the standard post-operative endoscopic sinus surgery follow-up. This includes follow-up appointments at 6 days, 5 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months of the post-operative period. During these appointments, the surgeon will assess the post-operative appearance (Philpott-Javer Sinus Rating System), number of infections, pain, and 1st week post-operative bleeding (only at 6 day visit).

The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) questionnaire is to be completed by the study participants at 6 days, 5 weeks, and 3 months of the post-operative period. The SNOT-22 is a 5-minute questionnaire consisting of 22 questions, which asks participants to rate their sinus symptoms and social/emotional consequences of their nasal disorder from "no problem" to "problem as bad as it can be."
