    Flunisolide nasal spray significantly improved stuffy nose symptoms in patients with nasal polyps after surgery. This topical corticosteroid treatment also reduced the need for repeat operations, offering a beneficial complementary therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Nasal polyps are inflammatory growths in the nasal cavity.
    • Surgery is a common treatment, but recurrence is frequent.
    • Topical corticosteroids are used to manage nasal inflammation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of flunisolide as a post-operative treatment for nasal polyps.
    • To compare flunisolide with a placebo in managing nasal polyp symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
    • Twenty-two patients with nasal polyps participated.
    • Flunisolide or placebo administered topically for three months post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Flunisolide showed statistically significant improvement in stuffy nose symptoms compared to placebo.

  • Combined symptom scores (stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing) improved with flunisolide.
  • No significant effect on rhinomanometry was observed.
  • Side effects were minimal.
  • Fewer patients in the flunisolide group required re-operation within a year.

    • Conclusions:

    • Flunisolide is an effective and safe topical corticosteroid for managing nasal polyp symptoms post-surgery.
    • It can reduce the need for further surgical intervention.
    • Recommended as an adjunct therapy after nasal polyp surgery.
