It is used in otolaryngology as an adjuvant treatment to alleviate postoperative nasal symptoms. However, there is currently insufficient evidence demonstrating the therapeutic efficacy of HA for patients with nasal inflammatory diseases (NIDs). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical HA in the treatment of NID patients without receiving surgery.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In this meta-analysis, comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science. Keywords searched included \u201chyaluronic acid,\u201d \u201csinusitis,\u201d \u201callergic rhinitis,\u201d \u201crhinitis,\u201d and \u201crandomized controlled trials (RCTs).\u201d The Cochrane Collaboration\u2019s \u201cRisk of Bias Assessment\u201d tool was used to assess the quality of the included trials, and the meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 and STATA 15 statistical software.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 11 articles and 825 participants were enrolled. For the primary outcomes, the pooled results revealed that HA significantly improves nasal obstruction (SMD, \u22120.53; 95% CI, \u22120.92 to \u22120.14;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.008; and I\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 79%) and rhinorrhea (SMD, \u22120.71; 95% CI, \u22121.27 to \u22120.15;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.01; and I\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 90%) in patients with NIDs. As for the secondary outcomes, the pooled results demonstrated that when compared with the control group, HA could significantly improve nasal endoscopic scores (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05), rhinitis scores (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05), rhinomanometry (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05), nasal neutrophils (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05), and mucociliary clearance (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding nasal itching, sneezing, hyposmia, quality-of-life scores, and nasal eosinophils. For the risk of bias, 54.5% and 45.5% of trials had a low risk of bias in the randomization process and deviation of the intended intervention, respectively.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In the present study, the results reveal that HA might ameliorate symptoms of patients with NIDs.
