Study of Asthma and Nasal Steroids (STAN)

Protocol ID

09-201

Protocol Description

The purpose of this research study is to determine if treating chronic (long lasting) rhinitis and sinusitis with nasal steroids helps to control asthma symptoms. Rhinitis and sinusitis are terms used to describe redness and congestion that may affect the lining of the nose and sinuses. Asthma is a disease that causes inflammation (swelling, irritation, redness) and narrowing of the bronchial tubes. We are trying to understand how rhinitis and sinusitis affect asthma.
