Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of radiofrequency treatment of ethmoidal nerve on allergic rhinitis. METHOD: Eighty-eight cases of allergic rhinitis were treated with ethmoidal nerve radiofrequency under nasal endoscopy. RESULT: It showed marked effectiveness in 73 cases (83.0%), immprovement in 11 cases (12.5%) and failed in 4 cases (4.5%) in one year follow-up. The overall effective rate was 95.5%. CONCLUSION: This result indicated that it is a choice for treating allergic rhinitis to apply ethmoidal nerve radiofrequency under nasal endoscopy.
