Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effects of low-temperature plasm radiofrequency and high-intensity focused ultrasound in treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) complicated with nasal septum deviation.
METHOD:A total of 224 cases of identified PAR who treated in our hospital were randomly divided into 2 matched groups: low-temperature plasm radiofrequency group (n = 140) and high-intensity focused ultrasound group (n = 84). The therapeutic affection were evaluated by clinical symptoms controlled counting-scores. Inferior turbinate mucosa were collected and examined pathologically before and at 15 days and 6 months after the therapy.
RESULT:The follow-up data indicated the effective rate in 15 days was 97.1% in high-intensity focused ultrasound group, and 90.4% in low-temperature plasm radiofrequency group, in 6 months was 90.7% and 85.4% respectively.
CONCLUSION:The treatment of high-intensity focused ultrasound in PAR is minimally invasive and safe with reliable efficacy.
