Therapeutic effects investigation of physical therapy and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis

Abstract

To investigate the therapeutic effects of physical therapy and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis. Methods:192 patients were randomly divided into 3groups, A group 72 cases, B group 70 cases. A and B group were treated with focused ultrasound and radiofrequency ablation respectively under the endoscope and using spraying Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray for 1month after the operation. Patients of C group use the Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray and Cetirizine Hydro- chloride Tablets for 1 month. Follow up for 6 months after treatment and evaluate the curative effect with soring method. Results: Total effectiveness was as fllowed:1st months: A group 97.2%, B group 97.1%C group 96.0%;6 months: A group 90.3%, B group 87.1%, C group 64.0%. The curative effect score of three group after the treatment for 1month have no significant difference (P>0.05). Comparing the efficiency of patients in three groups after treatment for 6 months, there was significant difference of stat is tactically significance. The efficiency of A and B group were higher than group C(P<0.05).A group was better than B group with the score of sneezing after the treatment ,the difference was significant(P<0.05).But B group was better than A group with the score of nasal congestion ,the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion: The curative effect of treatment with two physical therapy methods combined with mometasone furoate for persistent allergic rhinitis, the former is better than the latter for sneezing ,but the improvement of nasal congestion is less than the latter. Long-erm therapeutic effect of drug with AR is less than physical therapy in combination with drug. The treatment with focused ultrasound combined with mometasone furoate for persistent AR is worth promoting, especially suitable for medium and severe persistent AR patients.
