Summary

The aim of this study to compare the efficacy of Rhinophototherapy to Intranasal Corticosteroids on the the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis patients. The main question to answer is: Does intranasal phototherapy reduce inflammation in the tissue biopsy of the inferior turbinate mucosa compared to intranasal steroids? The hypothesis for this study is Intranasal phototherapy will reduce mucosal inflammation without mucosal damage and is comparable to intranasal steroids in allergic rhinitis patients
