Researchers of the universities of Göttingen and Berlin, in Germany, reveal that sponges with botox are effective in the treatment of rhinitis, especially that known as idiopathic.

The study published on the portal BioMed Central He points out that it is not necessary to inject the botulinum solution in patients, because the reduction of symptoms is achieved by immersing some sponges in the liquid and placing them directly in the nostrils.

The investigator Rainer Laskawi, from the Medical Center of the University of Göttingen ensures that rhinitis is a very common disease that affects more than 20% of the population by damaging their health and quality of life.

All types of rhinitis are caused by permanent, occasional or convulsive nasal hyperreactivity. Among its main symptoms is the excessive nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, sneezing and rhinorrhea.

Treatment options depend on the type of rhinitis such as allergen reduction, decongestant application, immunotherapy, but with this research, botox sponges are presented as a new alternative.

How does botox reduce rhinitis?

In the study, it is detailed that botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that influences the development of symptoms of the disease, so that an improvement in health status is generated.

There are treatments where botox is injected into the nasal mucosa of patients with allergic rhinitis to reduce nasal flow; However, with sponges the use of syringes is avoided, so it becomes a safe and painless method, experts say.And you, how do you reduce the symptoms of rhinitis?
