Participants were divided into two groups: Control group (receiving standard care: nasal saline lavage and budesonide nasal spray) and Omalizumab group (receiving omalizumab in addition to standard care). Disease assessments, including total nasal symptom score (TNSS), visual analog scale (VAS) score, asthma control test (ACT), and sino-nasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22), were conducted at baseline and 6 months post-treatment.
