What is being tested?
The study is testing if high volume nasal irrigation with a combination of Azelastine and Mometasone is more effective than standard nasal sprays in treating chronic rhinitis. Participants will follow one of three treatment plans involving different combinations and delivery methods of these medications over six months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include irritation inside the nose, sneezing, nosebleeds, headache, bitter taste in mouth after use of azelastine spray/irrigation; mometasone may cause similar nasal irritation as well as throat irritation.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Mometasone Nasal IrrigationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The study intervention will be mometasone (1 mg/capsule). Participants will be required to dissolve the contents of the capsule into a 240 mL sinus rinse bottle along with the salt packet to create the rinse solution. All participants will be instructed to perform the following twice a day: irrigation of right and left nasal cavity with half of the rinse solution for each side.
Group II: Azelastine and Mometasone Nasal IrrigationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The study intervention will be azelastine (1mg) and mometasone (1 mg). The azelastine and mometasone will be provided in one capsule identical to the mometasone capsule. Participants will be required to dissolve the contents of the capsule into a 240 mL sinus rinse bottle along with the salt packet to create the rinse solution. All participants will be instructed to perform the following twice a day: irrigation of right and left nasal cavity with half of the rinse solution for each side.
Group III: Azelastine and Mometasone Nasal SprayActive Control1 Intervention
The study intervention will be saline irrigation (240 mL) followed by azelastine spray (137 mcg/spray) and mometasone spray (50 mcg/spray). Participants will have to dissolve the salt packet in a 240 mL sinus rinse bottle to create the saline solution. All participants will be instructed to perform the following twice a day: irrigation of right and left nasal cavity with half of the saline solution for each side followed by 2 sprays per nostril of both of the nasal sprays.
