This 25th volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine
series provides a multi-faceted 'whole evidence' analysis of the
management of rhinosinusitis (sinusitis) using integrative Chinese
medicine.Beginning with an overview of how rhinosinusitis is
conceptualised and managed in conventional medicine (Chapter 1),
the authors summarise the management of rhinosinusitis in
contemporary Chinese medicine (Chapter 2) based on clinical
guidelines and contemporary books. The third chapter provides
detailed analyses of how rhinosinusitis was treated with herbal
medicine and acupuncture in past eras based on the classical
Chinese literature.The subsequent chapters comprehensively review
the current state of the clinical evidence for the integrative
application of Chinese herbal medicines (Chapter 5), acupuncture
therapies (Chapter 7), other Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 8)
and combination Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 9), as well as
analyse and evaluate the results of these studies from an
evidence-based medicine perspective. In Chapter 6, the authors
review and summarise experimental evidence for the bioactivity of
commonly used Chinese herbs and their constituent compounds. The
outcomes of these analyses are summarised and discussed in Chapter
10. Implications for clinical practice and future research are
identified.This book provides valuable information for clinicians
and students in integrative medicine and Chinese medicine regarding
contemporary practice and the current evidence base for Chinese
medicine therapies for managing rhinosinusitis, in order to assist
clinicians in making evidence-based decisions in patient care. It
also provides researchers with a comprehensive survey of the state
of the field that can inform future directions for clinical and
experimental studies.
