Provocation test with 5% glycerol has fast and fleeting effects on the nasal mucosa
Teste de provocação com glicerol 5%: efeito rápido e fugaz na mucosa nasal
Francisco de Assis Machado Vieira
Abstract
The effects observed with nasal provocation testing using 5% glycerol were associated only with irritation/burning sensation within the first few minutes, reducing spontaneously and disappearing quickly. The use of 5% glycerol was found to have no influence on the prevalence of nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing and nasal/ocular itching obtained through summing symptoms, as evaluated in different nasal provocation tests, after 15-20 minutes. Overall, dilution with 5% glycerol did not change the final score for symptoms during nasal provocation testing.

Resumo
Os efeitos observados com glicerol a 5% na provocação nasal foram associados unicamente a irritação e sensação de prurido nos primeiros minutos, cedendo espontaneamente e desaparecendo rapidamente. O uso de glicerol a 5% não influenciou a prevalência de obstrução nasal, rinorreia, espirros e prurido nasal e ocular obtidos na soma dos sintomas, quando avaliado em diferentes testes de provocação nasal específica, após 15-20 minutos. Tomada em conjunto, essa diluição com glicerol a 5% não altera a pontuação final dos sintomas durante a provocação nasal.
