Low-frequency pulsed ultrasound in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses: a feasibility and distribution study.
Int Forum Allergy Rhinol. 2012 Jul-Aug; (4): 303-8
Bacterial biofilms have been implicated in refractory rhinosinusitis. Biofilms have been shown to respond to treatment with low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) therapy in vitro, and exposure to LFU has shown efficacy in wound repair and topical drug delivery in other fields. This preliminary study was designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of LFU for use in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
