Abstract: Sinusitis is a common disease in children, sinusitis, acute and chronic inflammation of the mucosal layer in one or more of the nasal cavity is called. One of the new methods used in this communication, electromagnetic therapy is therefore in this study we decided to design this study to evaluate the therapeutic effects of this technique on chronic sinusitis. This article is a clinical trial. The population study included 40 patients for treatment of sinusitis, children were admitted to a private clinic. In this study, 52 children (20 children treated with electromagnetic therapy and antibiotic therapy and 32 patients undergoing antibiotic treatment alone (control)), were studied. After the first follow-up of patients was observed between the groups, there was no significant difference in the number of symptoms. After the first follow-up of patients was observed between the groups, there was no significant difference in the number of symptoms.(With significant levels 0.433). The significant difference between the groups in terms of PND (with significant levels 0.274), halitosis (with significant levels 0.732), the first follow-up there. However, significant differences between the groups in terms of nasal obstruction in the first follow-up (with significant levels 045/0) there. The results showed that the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy combined with antibiotic treatment of chronic sinusitis than antibiotic therapy alone, respectively.
