“… 2 , 3 However, the usefulness of antral irrigation in the treatment of rhinosinusitis has been surprisingly scantily studied and the studies that have been done are old. 4 For the time being, there is no published evidence that antral irrigation would reduce symptoms or recovery time in acute rhinosinusitis and its use has gradually decreased. Recently, optional methods for the collection of microbial samples have been introduced.…”

BACKGROUNDAntral irrigation earlier had an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of rhinosinusitis. Nowadays, it is often considered too unpleasant. However, the experience of patients of this procedure has been very seldom evaluated. Nor has the effect on pain in rhinosinusitis been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients’ experience of discomfort and pain during antral irrigation. We also assessed facial pain caused by rhinosinusitis before the procedure and pain soon after the procedure.METHODSDoctors and 121 patients completed their questionnaires independently after antral irrigation in a university clinic, in a private hospital, and at a communal health center.RESULTSPatients experienced mild pain during antral irrigation (mean and median visual analog scale score: <3). Their experience of pain during antral irrigation was closely comparable to pain during dental calculus scaling. Facial pain assessed before antral irrigation decreased quickly after the procedure.CONCLUSIONSAntral irrigation was well tolerated as an outpatient procedure. The procedure seems to relieve facial pain caused by the disease quickly. The role of antral irrigation in the treatment of acute rhinosinusitis will need further investigation.
