Clinical efficacy of budesonide in the treatment of eczematous external otitis.
    European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1991, Volume: 248, Issue:4

    Sixty patients with mild to moderate forms of eczematous otitis externa were treated with budesonide and placebo in a double-blind controlled study using parallel groups. Each treatment period was preceded by otomicroscopic examination and thorough cleaning of the ear canal. The symptoms and signs were assessed with a score system ranging from 0 (no symptoms/signs) to 3 (severe symptoms/signs). Budesonide treatment was associated with a reduction in severity of all symptoms recorded and a marked improvement in erythema, swelling and discharge. Mechanical cleaning of the ear canal and placebo was not a sufficient treatment for this group of patients.
