COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LOW-FREQUENCY ULTRASOUND AND CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS
In Russia, as in most developed countries of the world, allergic rhinitis is a common disease. Over the past 20 years, it has increased 4-6 times, and its peak falls on a young and able-bodied age. The article provides a comparative assess-ment оf the effectiveness of the use of a 0.05% solution of budesonide for allergic rhinitis through low-frequency ultrasound therapy in combination with immunomodulators and the traditional treat-ment method. It has been established that combination therapy, including the use of topical corticosteroids by ultraphonophoresis, immunomodulator and antihistamines, allows effective and short-term (during 14 days) regression of the clinical manifestations of the disease. No systemic hormonal effects were observed with the use of topical corticosteroids administered either with low-frequency ultrasound or conventionally.
