Extracts from The Cochrane Library: Nasal saline irrigations for the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis

Abstract

The “Cochrane Corner” is a quarterly section in the journal that highlights systematic reviews relevant to otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, with invited commentary to highlight implications for clinical decision-making. This installment features a Cochrane Review entitled “Nasal saline irrigations for the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis,” which shows that saline irrigations are well-tolerated and could be included as a treatment adjunct for the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis.
