ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction Allergic rhinitis is a form of IgE mediated inflammation of the nasal mucosa in response to specific allergens, resulting in typical symptoms. Objectives This study was designed with the primary goal of comparing the clinical efficacy of posterior nasal neurectomy with or without pharyngeal neurectomy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe perennial allergic rhinitis. Secondary study aims included a comparison of the severity of comorbidities, including chronic cough and asthma, between patients in these two surgical treatment groups. Methods A total of 52 patients were enrolled in this randomized controlled trial and were assigned to either the control group (posterior nasal neurectomy) or the experimental group (posterior nasal neurectomy + pharyngeal neurectomy). The visual analog scale and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire were used to compare the differences in patient symptoms between baseline and 6-, 12-, and 24-months post-treatment. In addition, patient cough and asthma symptoms were monitored during follow-up via visual analog scale and asthma control test respectively. Results No significant differences in preoperative scores were evident between groups (p> 0.05). At 6-months post-treatment, there were significant differences in visual analog scale, rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, and asthma control test scores relative to baseline values in experimental group and control group patients (p< 0.05), and this remained true upon 12- and 24-month follow-up. No significant differences in visual analog scale, rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, or asthma control test scores were observed between the two treatment groups at any postoperative follow-up time point (p> 0.05), while coughing severity was found to be significantly reduced in the experimental group relative to the control group (p< 0.05). Conclusion posterior nasal neurectomy can be safely implemented with or without pharyngeal neurectomy in order to effectively treat allergic rhinitis. Combined posterior nasal neurectomy and pharyngeal neurectomy treatment may offer greater value than posterior nasal neurectomy alone for the treatment of allergic rhinitis patients with chronic cough.
RESUMO
Resumo Introdução A rinite alérgica é uma forma de inflamação da mucosa nasal mediada por IgE em resposta a alérgenos específicos, resulta em sintomas típicos. Objetivos Comparar a eficácia clínica da neurectomia nasal posterior com ou sem neurectomia faríngea para o tratamento da rinite alérgica perene de moderada a grave. Além disso, comparar a gravidade das comorbidades, inclusive tosse crônica e asma, entre os pacientes nesses dois grupos de tratamento cirúrgico. Método Foram incluidos neste ensaio clínico randomizado e designados para o grupo controle (neurectomia nasal posterior) ou para o grupo experimental (neurectomia nasal posterior + neurectomia faríngea) 52 pacientes. A escala visual analógica e o questionário de qualidade de vida na rinoconjuntivite (rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire) foram usados para comparar as diferenças nos sintomas dos pacientes entre o período inicial e 6, 12 e 24 meses após o tratamento. Além disso, a tosse e os sintomas de asma dos pacientes foram monitorados durante o acompanhamento por meio da escala visual analógica e do teste de controle da asma (asthma control test ), respectivamente. Resultados Nenhuma diferença significante nos escores pré‐operatórios foi evidenciada entre os grupos (p > 0,05). Aos seis meses póstratamento, houve diferenças significantes nos escores da escala visual analógica, no questionário de qualidade de vida na rinoconjuntivite e no teste de controle de asma em relação aos valores basais dos pacientes no grupo experimental e no grupo controle (p < 0,05), o que permaneceu verdadeiro após 12 e 24 meses de acompanhamento. Não foram observadas diferenças significantes nos escores da escala visual analógica e nem no questionário de qualidade de vida para conjuntivite ou no teste de controle da asma entre os dois grupos de tratamento em qualquer momento do acompanhamento pós‐operatório (p > 0,05), enquanto a gravidade da tosse foi significantemente reduzida no grupo experimental em relação ao grupo controle (p < 0,05). Conclusão A neurectomia nasal posterior pôde ser feita com segurança com ou sem neurectomia faríngea para o tratamento eficaz da rinite alérgica. O tratamento combinado com neurectomia nasal posterior e neurectomia faríngea pode oferecer mais benefício do que a neurectomia nasal posterior isolada para o tratamento de pacientes com rinite alérgica e tosse crônica.
