Nasal Irrigation for Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Fatigue in Patients with Gulf War Syndrome

Abstract

More than 50,000 troops returned from the Persian Gulf conflicts reporting a myriad of medically unexplained symptoms with no identifiable etiology. While patients who meet the case definition of Gulf War Illness (GWI) can have a myriad of symptoms, two of the most prevalent and debilitating ones are chronic nasal congestion and fatigue. The purpose of this research effort is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT): Nasal Irrigation for Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Fatigue in Patients with Gulf War Illness which will evaluate the effects of two different types of nasal irrigation solution compared to a control group for sinus and fatigue symptoms in adults with GWI.
