Duration of Antibiotic Therapy as Part of Maximal Medical Therapy for Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Sinusitis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the best duration(3 versus 6 weeks) of antibiotics as part of maximal medical therapy for treating chronic sinusitis and thus preventing patients from having to have sinus surgery. The hypothesis is that in the context of maximal medical therapy 3 weeks of antibiotics is not worse than 6 weeks of antibiotics at successfully treating chronic sinusitis.
