Clinical Advances in
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a major cause of morbidity, lost productivity, and health expenditures in the United States. Though inflammatory in nature, the etiology of CRS is multifactorial and not attributable to any single factor. Surgery and intranasal steroids are the mainstays of therapy. Recent studies suggest that endotyping of CRS patients may soon allow for the use of biologic agents that target specific inflammatory pathways. This page provides education on evidence-based treatments for CRS, including devices that may improve delivery of therapies to the sinuses.
