Nasal Polyps
Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:
Red Pepper (Capsaicin):
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It is proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: weakly against (studies for the relieving effects of red peppers in nasal polyps have yielded unreliable and mixed results)
Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence
