Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a rose geranium in sesame oil (RG) nasal spray versus an isotonic saline (IS) nasal spray for treating nasal vestibulitis symptoms in chemotherapy patients.
- A total of 106 patients participated, with those using RG showing a 67.4% improvement in symptoms compared to 36.6% in the IS group, indicating RG was significantly more effective.
- Adverse events were minimal and similar between both treatment groups, leading to the conclusion that RG in sesame oil is beneficial for addressing nasal issues in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
