Impact of Topical Sinonasal Budesonide Irrigation on Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Function

Summary

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a complex inflammatory disease that is treated primarily with sinus surgery and the long-term use of topical steroid therapy. Budesonide irrigation is a common method of topical steroid treatment for these patients. However, the effects of budesonide irrigation on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with CRS following sinus surgery, is as of yet not defined. The objective of this study is to determine if topical sinonasal budesonide steroid irrigation leads to acute recoverable and/or long-term suppression of the HPA axis. Participants in this prospective cohort study will have CRS and have recently undergone endoscopic sinus surgery. They will also have had planned use of budesonide irrigations as their postoperative medical treatment. The acute effects of this treatment on the HPA axis will be evaluated using serial serum cortisol measurements both the day before and the day of the first budesonide irrigation. The long-term effect of sinonasal budesonide irrigation will be evaluated using both a pre- and post-treatment adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test as well as repeated urine free cortisol levels over the length of the study. The results will determine the need for additional steroids when patients stop treatment or with a physiologic stressful event.

Conditions

  • Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Interventions

DRUG

Budesonide irrigation

A budesonide (1 mg) in saline (240 mL) irrigation solution is applied to the sinonasal cavities twice daily. 120 mL of the solution is applied via irrigation in the AM, and 120 mL again in the PM.
