[Cauterization of the inferior nostrils and immunotherapy as a treatment for patients with allergic rhinitis].
The present study was done in order to determine the clinical benefit and results of treatment in 40 patients with chronic nasal obstruction due to perennial allergic rhinitis. These patients were separated in two groups in order to compare clinical results: one group treated with local electrocauthery over turbinate processes alone, and other group with electrocauthery plus immunotherapy. Two patients in each group abandoned treatment. The clinical results in the patients treated were seemingly better in the group that the combined treatment (electrocauthery plus immunotherapy) was employed with significant clinical improvement.
