Rhinophototherapy as adjuvant treatment in allergic rhinitis. Literature review

https://doi.org/10.14201/orl.31714

Abstract

Introduction and objective: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, mediated by immunoglobulin E. It affects one in six individuals, with a prevalence of 10% to 40% in the population. In recent years, the use of rhinophototherapy has been proposed to reduce its symptoms in patients who cannot benefit from intranasal corticosteroids or oral antihistamines; as well as adjuvant treatment to them. The objective of this review is to analyze the efficacy of rhinophototherapy as adjuvant treatment in allergic rhinitis. Method: A review was performed following PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, Cinahl, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, Academic Search Complete, Lilacs, IBECS, CENTRAL, SciELO, and WOS databases were consulted. The Cochrane tool was used to assess the risk of bias and the quality of the evidence was assessed GRADE. Results: Rhinophototherapy is an effective adjuvant treatment in allergic rhinitis. The total sample was 251 patients. In all studies, the application of rhinophototherapy was safe and the duration of treatment ranged from two to six weeks, with an average of three times per week. Discussion: In the future it would be necessary to continue researching to establish a unified protocol regarding the frequency, duration and number of sessions. As well as analyzing the possible synergistic effect of this treatment with other therapies. Conclusions: Rhinophototherapy was effective in patients with allergic rhinitis. This therapy improves clinical symptoms of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, nasal itching, palate itching, nasal inspiratory peak flow measurements, patient quality of life, and symptom severity.
