Clinical Study
Radioactive Merano SPA Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis Therapy
Table 4
The table shows the results of statistical analysis according to Wilcoxon test, comparing the flow and resistance data got by active anterior rhinomanometry and the mucociliary time data, before and after thermal water therapyand mometasone nasal spray. In 46 cases encompassed by the study with thermal water therapy (w), we notice increase of combined flow (right + left) after thermal therapy, switching the mean from 482 cc/s before therapy to 528 cc/s after therapy (). The data refers to first quartile/mean/third quartile. After the therapy with mometasone nasal spray (m) (36 cases), an increase of flow (dx + sx) is noticed, switching the mean from 470 cc/s to 492 cc/s with ; the value of resistance, from 0,34, reduces to 0,26 Pa/cc with . Mucociliary transport time decreases from 14 minutes to 13 with . The data refers to first quartile/mean/third quartile.
