A Comparative Study of Three Methods of Nasal Irrigation
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of three methods of nasal irrigation on distributing saline to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
Comparison of Topical Medication Delivery Systems after Sinus Surgery
TLDR
To compare the distribution patterns of topical medication delivery systems in the sinonasal region and upper respiratory tract after functional endoscopic sinus surgery, a large number of patients with a history of central giant cell granuloma were treated with topical medication.
Comparison of nasal sprays and irrigations in the delivery of topical agents to the olfactory mucosa
TLDR
The purpose of this study was to compare the distribution of nasal irrigations to sprays within the olfactory cleft with respect to topical agents administered through various application techniques.
Can bottle design prevent bacterial contamination of nasal irrigation devices?
Saline nasal irrigation is a mainstay in the medical management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with proven efficacy. However, bacterial contamination of irrigation bottles has recently been reported…
Distribution of topical agents to the paranasal sinuses: an evidence‐based review with recommendations
The objective of this work was to review the literature concerning the distribution of topical therapeutics to the sinuses versus nasal cavity regarding: surgical state, delivery device, head…
Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of the distribution of spray and irrigation devices within the sinonasal cavities
TLDR
There remains a need for a technique that allows regionalization of particle deposition within a patient's unique 3‐dimensional (3D) geometry without exposing the patient to radiation.
Nasal Irrigation as Treatment in Sinonasal Symptoms Relief: A Review of Its Efficacy and Clinical Applications
TLDR
Recent evidence provides strong scientific justification of the benefits and advantages of using nasal irrigations in sinonasal symptoms relief and its efficacy and clinical applications.
Brazilian Academy of Rhinology position paper on topical intranasal therapy.
TLDR
The Brazilian Academy of Rhinology provides its practical and updated guidelines on the most utilized topical nasal medication, except for the drugs that have topical antibiotics in their formulas.

Characterization of nasal irrigation flow from a squeeze bottle using computational fluid dynamics
TLDR
This work aimed to develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of nasal irrigation to demonstrate sinonasal surface coverage, residence times across the mucosal surfaces, and shearing force of irrigation.

Effect of irrigation of the nose with isotonic salt solution on adult patients with chronic paranasal sinus disease
TLDR
Endonasal irrigations with salt solutions are effective in the treatment of chronic sinusitis, and a significant difference between Ems salt and sodium chloride was not observed.
Nasal Irrigation for the Alleviation of Sinonasal Symptoms
TLDR
Daily nasal irrigation using either a bulb syringe, nasal irrigation pot, and daily reflexology massage were equally efficacious and resulted in improvement in the symptoms of chronic sinusitis in over 70% of subjects.
Balanced physiological saline in the treatment of chronic rhinitis.
TLDR
The tested solution proved to be beneficial in humidifying atrophic or otherwise dry mucosa, douching crusty nose and as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
Mucociliary Clearance and Buffered Hypertonic Saline Solution
TLDR
Results showed buffered hypertonic saline nasal irrigation to improve mucociliary transit times of saccharin, while buffered normal saline had no such effect.
The effect of pH of douching solutions on mucociliary clearance.
TLDR
There was no difference in mucociliary clearance after douching with a non-buffered solution and a solution buffered to pH 8.0, however both solutions significantly improved mucOCiliary clearance compared to the baseline (P < 0.001) probably on account of their hypertonicity.
Treatment with hypertonic saline versus normal saline nasal wash of pediatric chronic sinusitis.
Distribution and clearance of radioactive aerosol on the nasal mucosa.
TLDR
Analysis of six hour clearance studies by linear regression showed a relatively rapid initial phase, which is probably due largely to mucociliary clearance, and a prolonged late phase related to the very slow disappearance of residual material located far anteriorly in the nose.
RinoFlow™ Nasal Wash and Sinus System as a Mechanism to Deliver Medications to the Paranasal Sinuses: Results of a Radiolabeled Pilot Study
TLDR
The ability of the RinoFlow™ nasal aerosol delivery device to deposit aerosol directly to the paranasal sinuses is tested and it is concluded that the results of this study are promising and that further study is warranted.
Soluble markers of allergic inflammation
TLDR
Two new markers of allergic inflammation have been identified in the blood of mice infected with E.Venge P.venge virus, which is a type ofopolysaccharide which is known to cause inflammation in the immune system.
Volume quantification of healthy paranasal cavity by three-dimensional CT imaging.
TLDR
The size of the paranasal cavities in 20 healthy Japanese subjects by reconstructing three-dimensional (3-D) computed tomography (CT) images was measured and the increment of the size was quite apparent and the lower prevalence of sinusitis was assumed to play a role.
