Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods MFNS was compared to isotonic saline. Both treatments were prescribed one spray per nostril, twice a day, per 3 weeks. Nasal cytology, total symptom score (TSS), visual analogic scale concerning the parental perception of symptom severity, and the Pediatric Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PRQLQ) were assessed at baseline, after 7 and 21 days, and one month after discontinuation.

Study Groups

Active Group
Nasal cytology
The cytological technique involves the following moments: sampling, processing, which includes fixation, staining and microscopic observation. Cytological sampling consists in the collection of superficial cells of the nasal mucosa with the help of a sterile swab or a small curette (scraping) in disposable plastic material (Rhino-probe).
The validated Pediatric Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PRQLQ)
The validated Pediatric Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PRQLQ) consists of 23 questions in 5 domains (nasal symptoms, ocular symptoms, practical issues, limitation of activities, other symptoms) that are answered on a 7-point scale (0-6), where 0 represents the absence of problems and 6 the greatest symptom distress. Children will complete the questionnaire together with a parent at baseline and during the study. A Total Score was calculated as the mean of the 5 domains.
Total symptom score (TSS)
Total symptom score was the sum of 3 domains: i) nasal symptoms (TNSS) included itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion; ii) ocular symptoms (TOSS): itching, hyperemia of the conjunctiva, tearing; and iii) throat symptoms (TTSS): itching, coughing. With the help of their parents, patients scored symptoms severity on a 4-point scale: 0 = absent or irrelevant, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. Total symptom score was assessed at 12 hours (TTS 12h) and two weeks (TTS 2W) before the visits. TSS represents the doctor's point of view of symptom severity
Visual analogic scale (VAS)
A visual analogic scale (VAS) measured the parental perception of symptom severity (0=no symptom; 10=very severe symptoms).
