Problem: To assess the efficacy of budesonide intrapolyp injection in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Method: Ninety patients were divided into three groups; group A was given oral prednisolone, group B was given budesonide intrapolyp injection weekly for five consecutive weeks and group C was given budesonide as nasal irrigation for one month. Patients were assessed using Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 score, total nasal polyp score, serum immunoglobulin E, absolute eosinophilic count, and morning cortisol level before treatment, one week and three months after completing their treatment.

Results: Total nasal polyp score decreased significantly in all groups compared to those at baseline. Reduction in the oral and injection groups was greater than the wash group (2 = 0.004), (3 < 0.001), and the same trend concerning Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 score (2 < 0.001), (3 < 0.001).

Conclusion: Budesonide is an effective agent used in intrapolyp injection with no documented systemic or visual side effects that has comparable results with oral steroids.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of budesonide, a steroid injection, for treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) compared to oral steroids and a control group.
  • In a randomized clinical trial with 150 patients, results showed that both budesonide and oral steroids significantly improved symptoms and nasal polyp scores, while the control group did not show significant improvement.
  • The conclusion indicates that intrapolyp steroid injections, especially budesonide, are a safe and effective option for patients with recurrent nasal polyps, potentially reducing the need for systemic steroids.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic condition classically divided into two phenotypes according to the presence or absence of nasal polyps. The effects of both medical and surgical treatment are often temporary, encouraging research into new treatment options.

Methods: We performed a systematic review related to dosages, effects, side effects, and safety of intrapolyp steroid injection in patients with nasal polyps.
