ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect and safety of coblation plasma surgery and beclomethasone dipropionate nasal spray in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis. METHODS A stratified,randomized,controlled trial of surgery and medicament was performed in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis. A total number of 102 patients were involved in the trial,including 56 cases with swelling of inferior turbinate,28 cases in surgery group,28 cases in medicament group; and 46 cases without swelling of inferior turbinate,23 cases in surgery group,23 cases in medicament group. Coblation plasma surgery was performed in all surgery groups. Each patient was given 50?4?2 ?g/d of beclomethasone dipropionate nasal spray in all medicament groups,Treatment time was 3 months. The symptom scores (SS)and visual analogue scale(VAS)were recorded. RESULTS Effect assessment showed that both methods had significant repressive effect on allergic symptoms,the effect of surgery group was better than that of medicament group at the 14th day,28th day and 3th month in cases with swelling of inferior turbinate. Difference between the surgery group and medicament group in cases without swelling of inferior turbinate had no statistic significance. CONCLUSION Both coblation plasma surgery and beclomethasone dipropionate nasal spray are effective to treat perennial allergic rhinitis. But coblation plasma surgery is better than medicament in cases with swelling of inferior turbinate.
