Research project: MACRO - Defining best management for adults with chronic rhinosinusitis
Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common condition and symptoms can include a blocked and runny nose, loss of smell, facial pain, tiredness and breathing problems. These symptoms can impact greatly on a person’s quality of life. Patients often consult their GP and may receive a number of different medical treatments including nasal sprays, steroids and antibiotics. Many of these patients will also be referred to an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist where they may undergo further medical treatment or sinus surgery, even though the role of surgery in treating CRS is remains unclear.
