- Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of nasal endoscopic retronasal neurotomy on the psychological status of patients with moderate-severe persistent allergic rhinitis(AR).Methods The enrolled subjects were patients with moderate to severe persistent AR from 2022 to 2023.Patients with endoscopic retronasal neurotomy plus drug therapy were selected as the experimental group and drug therapy as the control group.Rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS)were used to evaluate the quality of life and psychological status before treatment,6 months and 12 months after treatment,respectively.Results The three scores were significantly lower in the experimental group than those in the control group at 6 and 12 months after treatment,and the three scores were significantly lower at 6 and 12 months after treatment compared with those before treatment,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),at 12 months after treatment,SAS and SDS in experimental group were significantly lower than those at 6 months after treatment,and both differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).In the control group,6 months after treatment,only the RQLQ scale was significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),SAS and SDS were not statistically significant when compared with those before treatment(P>0.05),and there were no significant differences in these scores when comparing the scores at 6 months after treatment with those at 12 months after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic retronasal neurotomy can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with moderate to severe persistent AR,and further improve the psychological state of anxiety and depression of patients.This surgery is easy to locate under nasal endoscopy,with clear field of vision,less trauma,fewer complications,it is economic and effective,as a relatively safe minimally invasive surgery,and it is worthy of clinical application.
