The relationship between sinus disease and headache is complicated. We undertook a prospective study to examine the success of endoscopic sinus surgery in the alleviation of headache in a defined group of individuals. In particular we wished to find out if the presence of asthma, nasal polyposis and purulent rhinosinusitis indicated that surgical intervention achieved any greater length compared to those without these conditions. Overall we found a significant improvement in headache symptoms after endoscopic sinus surgery, but subgroup analysis of patients with or without asthma, nasal polyposis and purulent rhinosinusitis showed no differences between the groups.
