Common inflammatory airway disorders, such as seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, acute sinusitis, and nasal polyposis, can have a significant impact on patient health and quality of life. Intranasal corticosteroids are recommended as part of treatment plans for each of these illnesses because they reduce inflammation and thus symptoms. In order to compare the efficacy and safety of a new nano formulation of mometasone furoate nano-nasal spray (MF-NNS) with a commercially available nasal spray called mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, 20 rhinitis patients were enrolled in this randomized controlled trial (10 to 50 years). Patients were given 50 mcg MF-NNS doses in the morning and evening. This regimen was administered as a nasal spray for a 3-week efficacy and safety phase. The primary endpoints changed from baseline in the subjects’ congestion as determined by the physicians’ assessment of allergic rhinitis. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate all efficacy end points. More clinical trials have shown that MF-NNS reduces both objective and subjective markers of inflammation in adults, adolescents, and children.

PlumX Metrics

PlumX Metrics  provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
