Comparative Study between Intranasal Injection of Botulinum Toxin-A and Combined Intranasal Medical Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis

Background: Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common diseases, with no consensus on its ideal treatment. Botulinum Toxin-A was proposed to be an effective treatment.  Aim of the work: To estimate the outcome of intranasal injection of Botulinum Toxin-A [BTX-A] as a sole therapy for allergic rhin...
