Summary

This study was done to find out the effect of photobiostimulation and pulsed electromagnetic field in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis on:

* Quality of life.
* Pulmonary function.
* Mean platelet volume.
* headache .
* total nasal symptoms.

Conditions

  • Photobiostimulation
  • Pulsed Electromagnetic Filed
  • Low Level Laser Therapy
  • Chronic Rhinosinusitis (Diagnosis)
  • Quality of Life

Interventions

DEVICE

pulsed electromagnetic therapy

We will use the ASTAR Physio MG 827, a generator and 75 cm solenoid couch, in a pulsed electromagnetic field group. Participants will be placed comfortably in the solenoid, and the device will be turned on and programmed for 20 guesses for 10 minutes, 7 Hz, three times per week for 8 weeks.

DEVICE

Photobiostimulation

The therapy will be performed using an ASTAR PhysioGo -As low level laser therapy device with a wavelength of 830 nm, 30 mW power output, and 1 J energy dose. Patients will be supine and wear laser safety goggles. The laser will be applied to six locations over the maxillary or frontal sinuses, administered in a continuous manner for 33 seconds per spot, totaling 198 seconds and 6 J per session

OTHER

Self-sinus massage technique

Participants are instructed to perform self-massage to their frontal and maxillary sinuses at home twice daily, in the morning and evening. For the frontal sinus, place the fingers above the eyebrows on either side of the forehead, and gently circular outward massage for three sets of 30 seconds, repeated twice a day.
