Determining the effects of washing the nose with normal saline in the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children 6 to 12

Randomized Clinical trial with control group, two parallel groups, children with allergic rhinitis aged 12–6 years divided two groups by block randomization method using Random allocation software

A study on children with allergic rhinitis referred to Urmia University of Medical Sciences' allergy clinics will be conducted, which will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The control group receives standard treatment (including oral antihistamine (1citrizine every 2 hours) and intranasal corticosteroids (Mometasone) every 12 hours), and the second group, in addition to standard treatment, nasal washes 4 times a day with a saline-soluble .65 % solution. Signs such as sneezing, nasal runaway, nasal itching, nasal obstruction, itching palate, eye symptoms, and disruption to the daily activity and sleep of the patients will be collected before starting treatment and at intervals of one and three months using the RQLQ questionnaire.

Inclusion criteria: children with allergic rhinitis aged 12–6 years Parental Informed consent to participate in the study Exclusion criteria: Non-allergic rhinitis, adenoid enlargement, infectious rhinitis, Concha Bollusa, intranasal meningocele, nasal polyp

The control group receives standard treatment (including oral antihistamine (1citrizine every 2 hours) and intranasal corticosteroids (Mometasone) every 12 hours), and the second group, in addition to standard treatment, nasal washes 4 times a day with a saline-soluble .65 % solution.

Sneezing, nasal runaway, nasal itching, nasal obstruction, itching palate, eye symptoms, and disruption to the daily activity and sleep using the RQLQ questionnaire.

The allocation of individuals into the two groups will be used by the blocked randomization method. For this method, blocks will first be created with a size equal to 6 and a combination of AAA BBB and then all possible combinations will be created and listed, and then each combination of a data assignment code will be created. It will, according to the sample size (n=96) and the block size (6), randomly select 16 blocks, all of these steps will be performed under the supervision of an epidemiologist consultant using Random Allocation Software.
