Treatment of these conditions can improve asthma. A literature review of studies related to the common treatment, epedemiologic, pathologic, and physiologic characteristics of these diseases was conducted. Eighteen studies that corresponded to the aim of this review were selected. The findings were then summarized and conclusions were made.

In addition epedemiologic findings strongly correlate worsening asthma with the presence of severe rhinitis/sinusitis, and studies demonstrated that treatment of these conditions had significant beneficial effects in mild asthma.
