Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Oral Guaifenesin on Pediatric Chronic Rhinitis: A Pilot Study (NCT NCT01364467)

NCT ID: NCT01364467

Last Updated: 2020-04-24

Results Overview

The Sinus and Nasal Quality of Life Survey (SN-5) questionnaire assesses the impact of infection on nasal symptoms, emotion, and activity. The SN-5 is a 5-item scale with each item rated on a scale of worsening symptoms from 1 (none of the time) through 7 (all of the time). Items were averaged to yield a single score ranging from 1 (better outcomes) to 7 (worse outcomes). Scores were used to asses change in disease severity and the impact of interventions on subjective complaints from baseline to follow-up.
