What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Disease specific quality of life questionnaire

    SinoNasal Outcome Test - 22 This is a symptom score ranging from 0 to 110 points, 0 representing the absence of nasal symptoms and 110 being the most severe symptoms.

    Time frame: 3 months after beginning of treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Endoscopic evaluation of the nasal cavities

    Lund Kennedy Endoscopic Score This is a score evaluating the healing of sinonasal cavities from 0 point (normal and healthy looking cavity) to 20 points (the most diseased cavity).

    Time frame: 3 months after beginning of treatment
