Abstract
Program Description:
Some of the most exciting new research in the field of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) relates to topical therapies. These therapies include topical steroids, antibiotics, antifungals, surfactant, and complementary and alternative treatments such as manuka honey and bacteriophage. New research now supports the clinical use of these therapies. However, some topical therapies proposed for treatment of CRS and related disorders should be used with caution due to lack of efficacy and even toxicity. The purpose of this miniseminar is to provide a summary and case studies of the best evidence available to help clinicians treat patients with CRS using topical therapies.
Educational Objectives:
(1) Analyze up-to-date evidence-based research for topical therapy management of CRS including topical steroid, antibiotic, antifungal, surfactant, and other alternative remedies. (2) Apply evidence-based clinical research in this field to directly improve the therapies available for patients with CRS.
