Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]
    NPS is the sum of the left and right nostril scores evaluated through nasal endoscopy, with a total score range of 0 to 8. NPS is based on polyp grading, with a score of 0-4 based on polyp grading.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Nasal congestion score (NCS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]
    NCS is determined by the subjects based on the severity of the nasal congestion in the past 24 hours. This score uses a 0-3 classification scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=mild symptoms, 2=moderate symptoms, and 3=severe symptoms.

  2. Anosmia Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]
    Anosmia Score is evaluated by subjects based on their severity of Anosmia on the day. This score uses a 0-3 classification scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=mild symptoms, 2=moderate symptoms, and 3=severe symptoms.

  3. Total symptom score (TSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]
    TSS is the sum of nasal congestion, anosmia, and rhinorrhea (the average of anterior and posterior rhinorrhea), with a score range of 0-9 points. The severity is evaluated by the subject and recorded on the subject diary record card.

  4. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for sinusitis [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]
    VAS for sinusitis is a questionnaire that subjective evaluation of the overall severity of sinusitis by subjects, with a score range of 0-10 points. The higher the score, the greater the impact of sinusitis on the quality of life of the subjects.
