Study Description

This study aims to confirm the comparative effectiveness of nasal steam therapy by conducting a practical randomized controlled clinical trial comparing 66 patients complaining of upper respiratory symptoms with patients treated with a nasal steam therapy strategy (33 patients) and patients treated with a routine management strategy (33 patients).

This study is a practical clinical study, and only randomly assigns patients to two groups: nasal steam therapy strategy and routine management strategy. The specific treatment method used is not determined in advance. The specific treatment is performed according to the clinical judgment according to the patient's condition. All treatment methods used during the study are recorded in the case report and compared.

The treatment will be administered for a total of 5 days, and drug treatment may not be discontinued after the study period at the clinician's discretion.
