Description

The effects of inhibiting nasal symptoms and signs of nasal hyperresponsiveness on local hyperthermotherapy were studied in 15 patients. Patients with perennial nasal allergy and vasomotor rhinitis were perfomed inhalation of saturated hot air (43°C) by Skainar-Steam ® II (EISAI) for 4 weeks.Each treatment consisted of two or three 10 minutes sessions, was treated for everyday at home. Subjective response was recorded on a dialy symptom score during the treatment.Nasal symptoms and signs were determined before, after 2-weeks, and after treatment by physical examination. Local hyperthermia treatment resulted in both severe and moderate amelioration of rhinitis symptoms and signs of increased in 35.7% for 2 weeks and in 60% for 4 weeks. There were increased statistically significant in comparison with amelioration of 4 weeks-group between 2 weeks-group (Wilcoxon-test, p<0.001).And no side effects were noted, during either treatment or follow up. In analysis, there was sligtly correlation nasal provocation test (pre-treatment) score with that amelioration of symptoms and signs. The results suggest that local hyperthermotherapy have an effect on inhibiting nasal symptoms and signs of nasal hyperresponsiveness and it is one of the effective treatment inhalation in clinical use.
