Nasal saline irrigations with budesonide |
- SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT 22) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Improvement in SNOT 22 scores, using a total score value. The total score can range from 0 to 110 in its composite score, with higher values indicating worse symptoms. The outcome would measure improvements beyond the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) score of 8.9 lower (lower indicating improvement of symptoms).
