Author: AxelssonA, GrebeliusN, JensenC, MelinO, SingerF

Clinical TrialA clinical trial is a planned study conducted on humans to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and treatment methods. It aims to explore the possibilities of new treatments and improve the health of patients.
Controlled Clinical TrialA clinical trial that evaluates the effectiveness of a treatment by comparing a group that receives the intervention with a group that receives a placebo or standard treatment.
Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
Randomized Controlled TrialA clinical trial that randomly assigns participants to treatment and control groups to evaluate the effects of an intervention.

Overview

Six different treatments were compared in 300 patients with acute maxillary sinusitis. All treatments, except for cephradine plus nasal decongestant, demonstrated similar healing rates. Cephradine-based treatments caused fewer side effects compared to ampicillin treatments, making the choice of the best treatment complex, as it involves various factors, including therapeutic effectiveness, side effects, long-term consequences of antibiotic use, and bacterial identification.

Treatment of Acute Maxillary Sinusitis: A Comparative Study

The treatment of [acute maxillary sinusitis] often involves antibiotics, but the optimal choice of antibiotic and treatment regimen remains a topic of debate. This research compared the efficacy of three different antibiotics – ampicillin, cephradine, and erythromycinestolate – with and without irrigation in patients with acute maxillary sinusitis. The study found that all antibiotics demonstrated similar radiological healing except for cephradine with nasal decongestant, which showed inferior results. Additionally, the study observed that cephradine was associated with fewer side effects compared to ampicillin. These findings highlight the need for careful consideration of both antibiotic choice and treatment regimen when managing acute maxillary sinusitis.

Navigating the Desert of Sinusitis Treatment
