Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze clinical studies on effectiveness of herbal medicine in rhinosinusitis.
Methods: We searched the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with herbal medicine treatment on rhinosinusitis from the Pubmed in recent 10 years (from 2008 to 2018).
Results: 11 RCTs were reviewed. In 10 out of 11 studies showed that the herbal medicine may be effective in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyp and uncomplicated acute rhinosinusitis. However, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and outcome measures were varied among different studies. No serious adverse reactions were reported from the herbal medicine treatment.
Conclusions: The results of these trials showed that herbal medicine may be effective in the treatment of rhinosinusitis.
Well-designed RCTs for domestic herbal medicine treatment on rhinosinusitis are needed to prove its efficacy clearly.
