Impact of Budesonide Irrigations on Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Impact on Sinus Surgery Rates

January 12, 2021 updated by: Kaiser Permanente
This study is intended to assess the impact of a 90 day course of high volume budesonide irrigations for patients who have failed other medical therapy and assessing the impact of the budesonide irrigations on the need for sinus surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patient who meet eligibility requirements will be given the opportunity to use a budesonide saline rinse twice daily for 90 days. At the completion of this therapy, their clinical situation will be reassessed and patients will either proceed to surgery or not. If eligible patients choose not participate, they will be offered surgery up front. The study will be assessing symptom scores using the SNOT-22 validated patient reported symptoms score, CT scans, and other measures. The study hypothesizes that a significant portion of patients that otherwise would have progressed to surgery will no longer need to have surgery based upon improvements in their overall symptoms scores after using budesonise irrigations.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT 22)
Time Frame: 12 months
Improvement in SNOT 22 scores, using a total score value. The total score can range from 0 to 110 in its composite score, with higher values indicating worse symptoms. The outcome would measure improvements beyond the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) score of 8.9 lower (lower indicating improvement of symptoms).
