Nasal ventilation function is associated with the etiology and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children
1. This randomized controlled trial found that children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) had significantly higher nasal resistance than those without OSAS. 2. However, in participants who were effectively treated with intranasal corticosteroids and oral montelukast, there were improvements in nasal resistance, nasal minimal cross-sectional area, and nasal cavity volume. Evidence Rating Level: 1
