Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective route to administer steroids to patients with chronic sinusitis, specifically a type of chronic sinusitis not associated with nasal polyps (CRSsNP). The investigators would like to better understand whether orally administered steroids results in superior results when compared with nasally sprayed steroids. The investigators propose to test the hypothesis that for patients with radiographically proven CRSsNP, routine medical therapy consisting of a short course of systemic corticosteroids is superior to topical corticosteroids for relieving inflammation and the symptoms of CRS.

Primary Outcome

The Sino-nasal Outcome Test-22 is a validated questionnaire that measures 22 nasal and quality of life symptoms ("nasal obstruction" and "loss of smell and taste") ranked from 0 (not a problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). Min score= 0, Max score= 110 ("worst possible problem" on all symptoms) Change from baseline of the SNOT-22 score. The SNOT-22 questionnaire is a 22-item disease-specific health related quality of life instrument validated for use in chronic rhinosinusitis.
