most effective combination therapies were azelastine nasal spray with ipratropium and cromolyn sprays (73 percent) and azelastine nasal spray and intranasal steroid sprays (76 percent).

MOUTH INJECTION PROCEDURE DECREASES SIMPLE SNORING
(Wednesday, October 29, 1:00 PM EST)

Snoreplasty, a nonsurgical procedure involving the injection of a hardening agent into the upper palate, may help to reduce simple snoring. Researchers from Egypt enrolled 34 patients with simple snoring in their study. The patients received an average of 1.8 injections of a sclerosing agent in their upper palates. Of the patients, 32 reported a significant decrease in snoring. In addition, no significant postinjection pain or complications were reported. Researchers conclude that injection snoreplasty is a simple, safe, low cost, and effective office treatment for simple snoring.
