What the study is about

About 13% of US adults, some 30 million people, suffer from nasal sinus disease. Although nasal obstruction and smell loss are two of the major symptoms of the disease that are crucial to disease management, currently there is a lack of clinical tools to effectively evaluate the mechanisms contributing to these symptoms. The proposed study aims to develop novel clinical tools to better evaluate and relieve patients' nasal obstructive symptoms and to enable patients and clinicians to make more informed, personalized decisions regarding treatment strategy.

Being studied: Nasal Plug

Conditions: Nasal Obstruction
