[Ultrasonic therapy of vasomotor rhinitis in combination with the application of topical corticosteroids].

Abstract

The objective of this work was to study the feasibility and effectiveness of the cavitational low-frequency ultrasound treatment of vasomotor rhinitis in combination with the application of topical corticosteroids. The study included 220 patients with the confirmed neurovegetative form of vasomotor rhinitis treated with the use of a Kavitar apparatus for the ultrasonic cavitational jet lavage. The data obtained indicate that the low-frequency cavitational treatment of intranasal mucosa in combination with the application of topical corticosteroids may be recommended as an efficatious method for the treatment of vasomotor rhinitis.
