Abstract

Background: Traditional medicine and herbal medicine are relatively commonly utilized by patients for the treatment of acute (ARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The aim of this study is to review the literature to evaluate scientific evidence regarding the use of herbal preparations in the treatment of rhinosinusitis.

Methodology: We reviewed all published studies until February 2024 in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane, using the followingkeywords: herbal medicine and nasal diseases, herbs and nasal diseases, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and nasal diseases, traditional medicine and nasal diseases, phytotherapy and nasal diseases.

Results: Thirty-three clinical studies met the purpose of this review and were assessed. These studies examine the effect of eleven herbal preparations for the treatment of ARS and CRS.

Conclusions: Herbal preparation BNO-1016 presents significant evidence in the literature regarding its use in the treatment of ARS, while the TCM preparation Xiangju might be a useful component in the treatment of CRS. Specific traditional herbal medicinal products, therefore, show promising results for the treatment of rhinosinusitis, and their use should be examined further. Given the relatively high demand for medicinal herbs, therapeutic use of those preparations should be explored further.

中药治疗急慢性鼻窦炎的系统综述。

背景：传统药物和草药是治疗急性（ARS）和慢性鼻窦炎（CRS）的常用药物。本研究的目的是回顾文献，以评估有关使用草药制剂治疗鼻窦炎的科学证据。方法：我们回顾了截至2024年2月在PubMed、EMBASE和Cochrane上发表的所有研究，使用以下关键词：草药与鼻疾病、草药与鼻疾病、中医与鼻疾病、传统药物与鼻疾病、植物疗法与鼻疾病。结果：33项临床研究符合本综述的目的并进行了评估。这些研究考察了11种草药制剂治疗ARS和CRS的效果。结论：中药制剂BNO-1016在治疗急性呼吸综合征中具有重要的文献依据，而中药制剂香桔可能是治疗慢性呼吸综合征的有效成分。因此，特定的传统草药产品在治疗鼻窦炎方面显示出有希望的结果，它们的使用应该进一步研究。鉴于对草药的需求相对较高，应进一步探索这些制剂的治疗用途。
