To investigate the value of acoustic rhinometry in treating patients with nasal obstruction by radiofrequency(RF).
The clinical results of 46 nasal obstruction cases treated by RF were analyzed. The therapy area were determined by acoustic rhinometry.
Pretherapy: mean nasal cross-sectional area (NMCA) (0. 37+/-0. 16)cm(2) , the front part of inferior nasal concha minimal cross-sectional area (MCA) (1. 10+/-0. 17)cm(2) , volume of nasal cavity(NV) (5. 76 +/-2. 81) cm(3), nasal resistance(NR) (5. 96 +/- 2. 24) kPa x s/L. Post therapy: NMCA(0. 68+/-0. 18)cm, MCA(1. 76+/-0. 19)cm(2), NCV (9. 10+/-2. 10)cm(3), NR(2. 42+/-0.86) kPa x s/ L. For 46 cases, there were remarkable improvements between pretherapy and post therapy ( P <0. 05). Twenty-seven cases were cured, 19 cases were improved, total effectiveness rate were 100%.
RF therapy guided by acoustic rhinometry may help determine the therapy area and improve the effectiveness.
探讨鼻声反射在射频治疗鼻塞患者中的应用价值。
分析46例采用射频治疗的鼻塞患者的临床结果。通过鼻声反射确定治疗区域。
治疗前:平均鼻腔横截面积(NMCA)(0.37±0.16)cm²,下鼻甲前部最小横截面积(MCA)(1.10±0.17)cm²,鼻腔容积(NV)(5.76±2.81)cm³,鼻阻力(NR)(5.96±2.24)kPa·s/L。治疗后:NMCA(0.68±0.18)cm²,MCA(1.76±0.19)cm²,NCV(9.10±2.10)cm³,NR(2.42±0.86)kPa·s/L。46例患者治疗前后差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治愈27例,好转19例,总有效率为100%。
鼻声反射引导下的射频治疗有助于确定治疗区域并提高疗效。
