Effect of Xiangju Capsules Combined with Olfactory Training on Postoperative Rehabilitation of Patients with Dysosmia Induced by Chronic Sinusitis
Objective:To investigate the effect of Xiangju capsules combined with olfactory training on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with dysosmia induced by chronic sinusitis.Methods:A total of 134 patients with dysosmia induced by chronic sinusitis treated in a hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected and assigned to the control group and observation group by random number table method,with 67 patients in each group.The control group was treated with olfactory training,and the observation group was treated with Xiangju capsules in addition to the treatment given in the control group.The clinical efficacy,eosinophil percentage(EOS% ),inflammatory factors[interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-17(IL-17)and C-reactive protein(CRP)],pain symptoms[visual analogue scale(VAS)]and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the total response rate in the observation group(88.06% )was higher than that in the control group(74.63%,P<0.05).The levels of EOS%,IL-6,IL-17 and CRP were decreased in both groups,with the observation group showing lower levels than the control group(P<0.05).Both headache VAS score and facial swelling VAS score were decreased in both groups,with the observation group showing lower levels than the control group(P<0.05).During the treatment period,the total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group(7.46% )was lower than that in the control group(11.94%,P<0.05).Conclusion:Xiangju capsules combined with olfactory training can improve the clinical treatment effect of patients with dysosmia induced by chronic sinusitis,reducing the inflammatory response,relieving pain symptoms and reducing the incidence of adverse reactions.
