Abstract

Aim: To find effectiveness of nadifloxacin phonophoresis over pulsed ultrasound in acute sinusitis subjects. Methods: Study was approved by Institutional Ethical Committee of KAHER Institute of Physiotherapy, Belagavi.40subjects with acute sinusitis were divided randomly into group A, treated with nadifloxacin phonophoresis and group B, treated with pulsed ultrasound. Subjects were assessed using Sinusitis Symptom Score, Numerical Rating scale and Sino-nasal outcome test-22 before and after 4 days of intervention. Result: For sinusitis symptom measure within the groups, mean difference were 6.16±1.97 and 6.27±1.8 with p-value of 0.001 for both the groups which was significant. For between the groups, p-value was 0.700 which was not significant. For numerical rating scale within the groups, mean difference was 0.37±0.14. and 0.27±0.08 with p-value of 0.001 for both the groups which was significant. For between the groups, p-value of 0.014 which was significant. For Sino nasal outcome test within the groups, mean difference was 16.33±9.55 and 7.50±1.85 with p-value of 0.001 for both the groups which was significant. For between the groups, p-value was 0.001 which was significant. Conclusion: Nadifloxacin phonophoresis was more effective than pulsed ultrasound in acute sinusitis.
