Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chronic sinusitis, or chronic rhinosinusitis, is an inflammatory condition defined by symptomatic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses lasting longer than 3 months. Common presenting symptoms include nasal obstruction, facial pressure or fullness, nasal discharge (anterior or posterior), and olfactory loss. Furthermore, chronic sinusitis is associated with reductions in patient quality of life, sleep quality, and daily productivity.

A pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and improves the microcirculation of the mucosal membrane of the nasal cavity. It has been suggested that magnetic therapy can be used in treating chronic sinusitis but there is a scarce of studies about its usage.

Magnetic group

Participants were randomized into either the PEMF group or sham treatment group by a computer-generated random number. The participants were treated using PEMF (20 G,7H for 10min). treatment was delivered for one month.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pulsed electromagnetic field

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants were randomized into either the PEMF group or sham treatment group by a computer-generated random number. The participants were treated using PEMF (20 G ,7H for 10min) and sham treatment. treatment was delivered for one month.

Sham magnetic group

Participants were randomized into either the PEMF group or sham treatment group by a computer-generated random number. The participants were treated using PEMF without adjusting the output. treatment was delivered for one month.
