Effects of Hypertonic Saline Solution (NACL 3%+NAHCO3) on Nasal Inflammation in Children With AR. RinASol- Pilot Study (RinASol)

January 11, 2017 updated by: Stefania La Grutta, MD

Effects of Hypertonic Saline Solution (NACL 3%+NAHCO3) on Nasal Inflammation in Children With Allergic Rhinitis. RinASol- Pilot Study (Allergic Rhinitis Solution)

The main objective of RinASol project is to assess in patients with seasonal Allergic Rhinitis the effect of hypertonic saline solution NACL 3%+NAHCO3 vs the effect of standard saline solution on nasal inflammation by means of nasal cytology.

The secondary objective is the symptom score assessment by T5SS Questionnaire (Total Symptom Score 5)
