What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Nasal patency evaluated by acoustic rhinometry.

    The main objective is to assess the increase of nasal patency in children aged 6-16 with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), treated with Beclometasone nasal spray 100 µg/die for 21 days.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of Beclometasone nasal spray on subjective nasal symptoms

    The secondary objective is to measure the impact of Beclometasone nasal spray 100 µg on subjective nasal symptoms, in children aged 6-16 with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), assessed by T4SS Questionnaire(Total 4 Symptoms Score).
