Abstract：Objective To explore the value of selecting clinical intervention plans in the prevention of sinusitis after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Method A study was conducted on 60 patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in our hospital from February 2020 to January 2023.They were divided into two groups using a random number table method.One group of 30 patients received simple radiotherapy(control),and the other group of 30 patients received intervention with triamcinolone acetonide and clarithromycin after radiotherapy(observation).SPSS software was used to analyze the clinical efficacy,incidence rate and clinical indicators.Result The clinical efficacy of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);The incidence of sinusitis in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at 3,6,and 12 months after treatment(P<0.05);The disappearance time of nasal congestion,purulent discharge,and headache in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group,and the pain score and CT imaging score were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Choosing triamcinolone acetonide+clarithromycin as an intervention plan in the prevention of sinusitis after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can not only improve symptoms such as nasal congestion and headache,but also reduce the recurrence rate of the disease.It is worth learning from and implementing.
