Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effectiveness of two questionnaires, SNOT-25 and ENS6Q, in assessing symptoms and psychological impacts of Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) before and after nasal surgery.
- - A total of 74 patients with ENS were analyzed, and significant improvements in their symptoms and psychological evaluations were observed six months post-surgery, with noteworthy correlations found between the questionnaires and mental health indicators before surgery.
- - The study concluded that while both questionnaires are beneficial for evaluating ENS symptoms, only the ENS6Q was strongly related to mental health before surgery and not afterward, highlighting the need for psychological assessments alongside these questionnaires.
