[Local hyperthermia of upper respiratory passages for perennial allergic rhinitis].

Local hyperthermia (43 degrees C) to the upper respiratory passages, without supplementary drugs, relieves symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis. Treatment consisted of 3, 30 minute sessions at 1-hour intervals during a single day. 69% were free of their symptoms during the month following treatment, and 52, 37 and 28% were free for 4, 8 and 12 months, respectively. The accumulated clinical experience with 95 patients aged 5-72 years demonstrates that local hyperthermia of the upper respiratory tract is effective in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis, with no immediate or long term side-effects.

Treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis by local hyperthermia.

Ninety-five patients with documented perennial allergic rhinitis have been treated with local hyperthermia of the nasal passages in a randomized double-blind trial. The treatment consisted of one series of three 30-min insufflations of humidified air at 43 degrees C at a 2-hr interval. In the active treatment group, 75% (P less than 0.00003) and 68% (P less than 0.00001) of the patients were free of symptoms 1 week and 1 month, respectively, after treatment, compared with a 28% and 17% response in the placebo group. We conclude that local hyperthermia is effective in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis.
