Abstract: Objective

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of nasal lavage alone and nasal lavage in combination with nasal corticosteroids in allergic rhinitis (AR) and vasomotor rhinitis (VMR).

Methods

This study included 93 patients with AR and 56 patients with VMR, who were randomly divided into three groups each: A1, A2, and A3 (n = 31 in each group) and V1 (n = 19), V2 (n = 17), and V3 (n = 20), respectively. Patients in groups A1 and V1, A2 and V2, and A3 and V3 were treated with budesonide nasal spray, nasal flushing with 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and a combination of nasal lavage and budesonide nasal spray, respectively, for three months each. Nasal symptoms were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) before and after the intervention; the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) was used to evaluate the quality of life, and the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) values were measured by the exhaled NO assay system..

Results

All patients completed the experiment with good tolerance, and no serious adverse reactions occurred. The VAS, RQLQ, and FENO values in the A3 group after three months were significantly lower than the values before intervention. There was no statistically significant difference in the total VAS scores among the A1, A2 and A3 groups (F = 1.465, P = 0.174). There were statistically significant differences in the total RQLQ scores between the A3 and A1 groups (t = 2.668, P = 0.014), but not between the A2 and A3 groups (t = 1.545, P = 0.136). There were statistically significant differences in the FENO values between the A3 and A1 groups (t= 3.241, P=0.004) and between the A3 and A2 groups (t= 2.987,P = 0.008). At the end of the third month of treatment, VAS, RQLQ, and FENO values in the V3 group were significantly lower than the values before intervention. The differences in total VAS scores were statistically significant between the V3 and V1 groups (t = 2.352, P = 0.027) and between the V3 and V2 groups (t = 2.083, P = 0.043). There were statistically significant differences in RQLQ scores between the V3 and V1 groups (t = 2.581, P=0.013) and between the V3 and V2 groups (t = 2.339, P = 0.031). There was no significant difference in the FENO values among the V1, V2 and V3 groups (F=1.563, P=0.159).

Conclusion

Nasal lavage alone or nasal lavage in combination with glucocorticoids was more efficient in the long-term treatment of AR and VMR.
