Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...
Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Summary

This review compares functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). While FESS is standard, OMT may offer symptom relief for some CRS patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Integrative Medicine

Background:

  • Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent inflammatory condition of the nasal passages and sinuses.
  • Diagnosis requires persistent symptoms and evidence of inflammation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) versus osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
  • To explore OMT as a non-surgical alternative for CRS management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review comparing outcomes of FESS and OMT in CRS patients.
  • Brief discussion of pharmacologic treatments as initial CRS management.

Main Results:

  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the established surgical standard for CRS.
  • Limited evidence suggests osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) may alleviate CRS symptoms, particularly for refractory cases.

Conclusions:

  • Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) presents a potential non-surgical option for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the role of OMT in CRS treatment paradigms.
