Facial pain/pressure is often non-rhinogenic and migraine-related in etiology. However, this is frequently misdiagnosed as sinusitis, leading to inappropriate antibiotic utilization and unnecessary procedures. We assessed the utility of the 3-Item Identify Migraine (ID Migraine) and the 22-Item Sinonasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) in differentiating rhinogenic vs. non-rhinogenic facial pain/pressure (NRFP).
