Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of a Herbal Medicinal Product (Dry Extract BNO 1016) in Patients With Acute Rhinosinusitis (NCT NCT01146860)

NCT ID: NCT01146860

Last Updated: 2013-08-02

Results Overview

MSS: sum of the 5 main rhinosinusitis symptoms which are: rhinorrhea (anterior discharge), postnasal drip, nasal congestion, headache, facial pain/pressure. Each symptom is individually evaluated using the following 4-point rating scale (scoring system): 0 = none/not present, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. Thus the MSS ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 15 score points.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: FAS: randomised patients with at least one documented application of the drug and post-baseline efficacy data

MSS: sum of the 5 main rhinosinusitis symptoms which are: rhinorrhea (anterior discharge), postnasal drip, nasal congestion, headache, facial pain/pressure. Each symptom is individually evaluated using the following 4-point rating scale (scoring system): 0 = none/not present, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: FAS: randomised patients with at least one documented application of the drug and post-baseline efficacy data

Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT 20): 20 item questionnaire to assess the symptoms and emotional and social consequences of rhinosinusitis. The symptoms are assessed by the patient using a 6-point rating scale: 0 = not present / no problem, 1 = very mild problem, 2 = mild or slight problem, 3 = moderate problem, 4 = severe problem, 5 = problem as "bad as it can be". range: 0 to 100
