Daily Nasal Saline Irrigation Not Recommended for Long-Term Use “Daily long-term use of nasal saline irrigation (NSI) by patients with recurrent rhinosinusitis (RS) can increase the frequency of acute infection by as much as 60%, according to a new study presented here at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) 2009 Annual Scientific Meeting. Many called the study "important." "We have a serious problem with many patients who suffer with chronic sinus disease thinking that the best treatment is daily [NSI]. They think it isn't harmful and so use it all the time," said lead investigator Talal M. Nsouli, MD, clinical professor of pediatrics and allergy/immunology at Georgetown University Hospital School of Medicine and medical director at the Watergate and Burke Allergy and Asthma Research Centers in Virginia. He presented the results during a podium session. Afterward, Dr. Nsouli told Medscape Allergy & Clinical Immunology that he has no problems with the use of NSI over a short term, and that previous studies have shown that it can improve nasal mucociliary clearance. However, "despite the common use of [NSI], or neti pots, in the treatment of sinus disease over a long period of time, there has been little evidence to confirm its success." For this study, the investigators hypothesized that the "long-term use of NSI may deplete the nose of its immune blanket of mucus, resulting in recurrent RS." “
