EUFOREA Global CRSwNP Awareness Day 2024 'The Empowered Patient'

Welcome to the EUFOREA session on "Empowering Patients with CRSwNP: Understanding Nasal Polyp Syndrome"! In this session, we delve into the world of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP or Nasal Polyp Syndrome) and explore patient-centered approaches to managing this chronic condition.
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is a challenging condition that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. In this session, patients, experts, and healthcare professionals come together to discuss the latest advancements in diagnosis, treatment options, and strategies for effectively managing nasal polyps.
Our panelists share their personal experiences with CRSwNP, highlighting the importance of patient empowerment and involvement in treatment decisions. We also hear from healthcare professionals who provide valuable insights into the clinical management of nasal polyp syndrome and discuss the importance of patient-centered care in improving health outcomes.
Throughout the session, we explore topics such as the impact of nasal polyps on daily life, the role of medication (including biologics) and surgery in treatment, and the importance of ongoing communication between patients and healthcare providers. We also address common misconceptions about nasal polyps and share resources to help patients better understand and manage their condition.
Join us as we empower patients with CRSwNP to take control of their health and navigate their journey with confidence. Together, we're working towards a future where every patient with nasal polyp syndrome receives the support and care they deserve.

Outstanding different points of view

[@janineking3561]

Thank you for this very informative discussion. I have CRSWNP and also had surgeries for chronic otitis medis and mastoiditis from a teenager to my final surgery in my twenties. I am now 70 and had no idea they could be connected . I am in limbo having had one specialist recommending surgery and another saying it is ineffective and to use a nasal spray for the rest of my life. I feel strongly that this condition is not taken seriously at all.
